Officials, including Rep. Josh Gottheimer, are sounding the alarm, calling it a national wake-up call and pushing for federal aid, bipartisan legislation to provide AI security tools to smaller towns, and increased funding to harden infrastructure. Local governments are already taking drastic steps, like cutting internet access to critical valves, as the nation races to defend its essential water systems from increasingly sophisticated threats.
