This effort will build upon previous efforts to <br />complete the 2021 RRA, and will ensure the City can meet requirements to re-certify these plans every 5 <br />years. <br />Risk and Resilience Assessments must include the following: <br />• the risk to the system from malevolent acts and natural hazards; <br />• the resilience of the pipes and constructed conveyances, physical barriers, source water, water <br />collection and intake, pretreatment, treatment, storage and distribution facilities, electronic, <br />computer, or other automated systems (including the security of such systems) which are <br />utilized by the system; <br />• the monitoring practices of the system; <br />• the financial infrastructure of the system; <br />• the use, storage, or handling of various chemicals by the system; and <br />• the operation and maintenance of the system. <br />• The assessment may also include an evaluation of capital and operational needs for risk and <br />resilience management for the system. <br />Another consultant prepared these documents previously for the City. It is assumed if any changes were <br />made to the documents that these changes will be shared with us for use in this effort. We have a copy <br />of the previous document that we will use as the basis for the update. <br />The previous RRA was quite comprehensive and included more information than just the RRA using the <br />EPA’s VSAT tool. While the RRA using the VSAT tool is included in the previous report’s appendix, it also <br />included a full-blown report. Only the RRA using the EPA’s VSAT is needed for certification. Therefore, <br />we have provided two options for proceeding with the update. Option 1 is to complete only the RRA
