EPA Web Site:

Security Product Guide The EPA Security Product Guide is a tool to help drinking water and wastewater utilities make informed decisions about security-related products.  EPA has updated the Guide to include these new products: Wireless Data Communications, Alarms, Biometric Hand and Finger Geometry Recognition, Manhole Intrusion Sensors, Reservoir Covers, and Intrusion sensors.  Based on feedback from their web site, they also revised the existing guide for Biometric Security Systems.  Since EPA keeps this tool current, users should check back frequently for the latest updates. A customer feedback form is available in the left column of the Guide.

Staff Contacts:
