Guides
Water cybersecurity funding, state by state
Start here
Water cybersecurity funding by state
A few states pay for OT security work at water and wastewater systems. A few more require it. This page keeps track of both, with the official source for each and priced parts for the work.
For water and wastewater utilities, and the integrators and engineers who work for them.
How to read the cards
GrantMoney for parts. A program that pays for equipment or assessments. Marked with a gold edge.
DeadlineA requirement. State law or rule that makes the work mandatory, with the date.
FinancingLoans and scoring points. State Revolving Fund incentives for projects that include cybersecurity.

Free assessments
EPA's Water Sector Cybersecurity Evaluation Program assesses drinking water and wastewater systems at no cost.

EPA's Cybersecurity Technical Assistance Program for the Water Sector gives free help from EPA cybersecurity subject matter experts.

EPA says the drinking water and clean water funds in every state can finance cybersecurity equipment and assessments.
EPA's cybersecurity funding page →Watch: EPA grants for midsize and large systems
Not an open grant. EPA's Midsize and Large Drinking Water System Infrastructure Resilience and Sustainability Program, for systems serving 10,000 or more, funds projects that reduce cybersecurity threats. The FY25 competition is closed ($11.75 million to ten systems, announced August 31, 2026). The next round will come through a new Notice of Funding Opportunity.
EPA's program page →CISA State and Local Cybersecurity Grant Program (not specific to water)
Federal money goes to each state's administrative agency, and the state must pass at least 80% of it to local governments, with at least 25% going to rural areas. Local governments, including the water utilities they own, receive it as a sub-award from the state and do not apply to CISA directly. Status as of November 2026: the program's authorization lapsed on September 30, 2026 and Congress has not appropriated new money. States may still be distributing earlier awards, so ask your state's administrative agency whether a sub-award round is open.
CISA's program page →Program notes are summarized from the linked state and federal sources as read in November 2026, and from what state program staff told us in November 2026. Programs open, close and change. Check the official source before you plan around any of them.
