The Water Cybersecurity Enhancement Act of 2025 updates federal law to help protect public water systems from digital attacks by expanding the Drinking Water Infrastructure Risk and Resilience Program to fund cybersecurity training. The bill allows water utilities and communities to use federal grants to develop training programs, purchase instructional materials, and learn how to prevent and respond to cyberattacks on their systems. The legislation extends the program's funding period from 2020-2021 to 2026-2031, giving water systems a six-year window to build their cybersecurity capabilities. This bill affects public water utilities across the country, particularly smaller systems that may lack dedicated cybersecurity expertise. By strengthening the cybersecurity defenses of water infrastructure, the legislation aims to protect critical services and public health from growing digital threats.
