Project Need: Section 2013 of America’s Water Infrastructure Act of 2018 (AWIA) requires community water systems that serve more than 3,300 people to develop or update both a risk and resilience assessment (RRA) and an emergency response plan (ERP) every 5 years. The City of Tigard developed their first RRA on December 31, 2020 and ERP on June 30, 2021. Therefore, based on these regulations, the city must update the RRA and submit certification of its completion to the U.S. EPA by December 31, 2025. In addition, the city must also update the ERP and certify completion to the U.S. EPA by June 30, 2026.

Project Description: Update the risk and resilience assessment and emergency response plan by the respective submittal deadlines.

Operations and Maintenance Impact: None.

Prioritization: System Enhancement or Regulatory Requirement
