Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Consolidation
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a current Emergency Operations Plan and relies on a county-level mass notification system disconnected from SCADA, creating critical coordination gaps. Recent local disaster declarations have exposed urgent deficiencies in water-system redundancy and community resilience planning.
The opportunity
A pending state financial assistance application and an active emergency-resilience agreement signal near-term funding alignment for this initiative. Consolidating alerting and operational coordination now reduces public safety risk and positions the district ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle with no incumbent solution to displace.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has an unaddressed compliance gap under Texas annual cybersecurity training and certification requirements, with no documented evidence of password security or access control measures in place. This exposure elevates operational and regulatory risk for critical water-system infrastructure and staff data.
The opportunity
FY2026 budget allocations for software and cybersecurity confirm available funding, and the district's procurement threshold allows purchases up to $150,000 via informal quote, reducing procurement friction. Acting within the current fiscal cycle closes a documented compliance gap and strengthens protection of essential public utility operations.
Web Accessibility & Digital Services Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district must achieve federal WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 2028, a firm mandate applicable to special districts. A fragmented digital services ecosystem and the absence of an incumbent provider create both compliance exposure and an operational gap in consistent public-facing service delivery.
The opportunity
FY2026 budget allocations for website services confirm near-term funding availability, and the April 2028 deadline creates a defined planning window to act now. Addressing accessibility proactively reduces legal and compliance risk while improving equitable public access to district services.
IT Infrastructure & Cybersecurity Modernization for Public Utilities
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active strategic initiative to modernize IT infrastructure and cybersecurity, including SCADA systems, with FY2026 budget allocations in place. Texas annual cybersecurity training and compliance certification requirements remain unmet, creating urgent, unaddressed compliance exposure for utility operations and public service continuity.
The opportunity
FY2026 budget lines for software and SCADA modernization signal clear procurement readiness, and the district's informal quote threshold supports a streamlined acquisition process. Acting now closes a documented compliance gap and strengthens operational resilience for the communities this utility serves.
Fleet & Heavy Equipment Telematics Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district operates aging vehicles and heavy equipment with limited visibility into maintenance needs, incidents, and claim-defense documentation. Without structured telematics data, the district faces elevated operational risk, reactive maintenance costs, and reduced ability to substantiate liability claims.
The opportunity
The Fleet & Transportation initiative is actively under strategic consideration, and FY budget lines signal readiness for technology investment. The USDA Community Facilities program represents a conditional funding avenue worth evaluating as the district plans its next budget cycle.
