Cybersecurity: Threats on the Rise, Take Action Today!


Take Action Today to Protect Your System Against Cyber Attacks! 

A cyber attack is not something any utility should experience especially when these are already tough times with COVID-19. Take measures to help prevent your system from being attacked.  

If your utility experiences a cybersecurity incident, please coordinate with your local law enforcement, the department, and report the incident to the DHS Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and WaterISAC

For department coordination, please note the following:

  • If you experience a Cybersecurity threat or attack fill out a Tampering Threat and Incident Report and submit to cdphe.wqacutes@state.co.us.
  • If the cyberattack will result in an acute drinking water incident (e.g. turbidity exceedance, positive E. coli sample, line break, actual/potential backflow contamination, etc.) contact the CDPHE 24-hr Acute line: 1-877-518-5608.
  • If there is no potential for an acute drinking water incident, contact your system’s  compliance officer.
