WHEREAS, section 2013 of the America's Water Infrastructure Act's (AWIA) requires
community water systems that serve more than 3,300 people to complete a risk and
resiliency assessment (RRA) and develop an emergency response plan (ERP); and,
WHEREAS the RRA for Seal Beach is due June 30, 2021, and the ERP is due
December 30, 2021; and,
WHEREAS, the RRA essentially, this expands on the Vulnerability Assessment that all
water systems were required to perform in 2002 to include assessments of potential
natural hazards, cyber threats, and the financial infrastructure; and,
WHEREAS, upon completion of the of its RRA, each system must prepare or revise,
where necessary, an ERP that incorporates the findings of the RRA, and,
WHEREAS, many of these requirements to complete the RRA and ERP are similar, if
not identical for many of the water agencies in Orange County; and,
WHEREAS, MWDOC has retained a consultant, Herndon Solutions Group (HSG) to
prepare the RRA and ERP for member agencies that have chosen to participate, and,
WHERE AS, Partnering with MWDOC will allow the City to benefit from the economy of
scale under such common requirements rather than bearing these costs entirely by
hiring our own consultant.
