Reston, Va.  – ASCE’s newest standard,  Guidelines for the Physical Security of Water and Wastewater/Stormwater Utilities,  ASCE/EWRI 78-24, provides guidelines on the evaluation and enhancement of physical security of facilities used in potable water sources, treatment, and distribution systems, as well as for wastewater and stormwater facilities. It provides a complete approach to integrate modern security practices into the management, operation, construction, or retrofit of water, wastewater, and stormwater systems. ASCE 78-24 is a revision to and supersedes ANSI/ASCE/EWRI 56-10, 57-10,  Guidelines for Physical Security of Water and Wastewater/Stormwater Facilities .
