The Northern Kentucky Water District (District) serves a population of
approximately 276,000. The District owns and operates three surface
water treatment plants and the service area encompasses over 1,000
miles of mains. Like other large water utilities in the U.S., the District
conducted a Vulnerability Assessment (VA) as required by the Public
Health and Bioterrorism Act of 2002.
It will be a challenge for the District to implement the recommendations that resulted from the VA. In addition to the considerable capital outlay
needed to meet these recommendations, changes in policies and
procedures will need to be implemented. The paper discusses three primary recommendations from the completed VA for the protection of critical assets: improve the physical protection; implement security policies and procedures; and, develop and implement an early warning program.
