Statement Regarding Reported Cyber Activity Affecting Minnesota Water Utilities
Saint Paul Regional Water Services (SPRWS) is aware of reports regarding suspicious cyber activity targeting public drinking water utilities in Minnesota, including a reported disruption to the water system in Braham. State and federal partners, including the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension (BCA) Fusion Center, are engaged in the response.
SPRWS’ drinking water system is operating normally, and we have no indication that this activity has affected our systems. We maintain continuous monitoring of our operational and information technology environments and have controls in place to detect and respond to unusual activity. We remain in close contact with our cybersecurity partners and state and federal agencies.
We will continue to monitor the situation and take appropriate precautions. Should any development arise that could affect our operations or customers, we will communicate it promptly.
The safety, security, and reliability of our drinking water system remain our highest priorities.
