About WaterISAC: The U.S. water and wastewater sector’s leading national associations and research foundations established the Water Information Sharing and Analysis Center (WaterISAC) in 2002, in coordination with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. That same year, it was authorized by Congress in the Bioterrorism Act. WaterISAC is the designated information sharing and operations arm of the Water Sector Coordinating Council. WaterISAC is the only all-threats security information source for the water and wastewater sector. Members provide water and wastewater service to most of the United States, as well as in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand. Membership is also open to organizations in the U.K. and the Netherlands. WaterISAC is a non-profit organization, governed by a board of managers comprising water and wastewater utility managers and state drinking water administrators who are appointed by the partner organizations shown above. Built from the ground up to serve the water sector, WaterISAC is uniquely positioned to understand and support the sector’s needs. Read more.
