Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks a publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan and mass-notification system, creating critical preparedness and compliance gaps for a large water utility with significant disaster exposure. Strong regulatory mandates require an EOP at this scale, making this the most urgent and foundational initiative to address.
The opportunity
The active Emergency Management Performance Grant (EMPG) in Williamson County provides a clear funding path, and the 2026–2027 budget draft review opens a near-term spending window. Acting now closes a critical compliance gap and strengthens community resilience before the next disaster event.
Fleet Telematics & Driver Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district lacks documented dash cameras and telematics, creating measurable gaps in fleet visibility and driver accountability following past employee safety confrontations involving marked utility vehicles. Without real-time monitoring, operational risk to field staff and public assets remains unaddressed.
The opportunity
A 12% increase in the Public Transportation budget and the upcoming 2026–2027 budget cycle create a near-term funding window. Existing GPS integration in the district's work-order system signals readiness, and cooperative procurement pathways may reduce acquisition complexity and cost.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
A potential gap between WCAG 2.0 and WCAG 2.1 standards on the district's public-facing digital properties creates legal exposure and limits equitable access for residents with disabilities. While no immediate enforcement deadline exists, the district's ongoing accessibility commitment makes unresolved gaps an operational and reputational risk.
The opportunity
The 2026–2027 budget review cycle presents a proactive window to remediate compliance gaps before enforcement action or litigation arises. Addressing accessibility now supports equitable public service delivery and positions the district favorably within upcoming fiscal planning.
Endpoint & IT Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Infrastructure Consolidation
High Priority
About this project
An aging endpoint management platform and an active infrastructure renewal cycle signal the need for consolidated, cost-efficient IT management tooling. With an annual IT and software spend near $94K, budget constraints make platform consolidation a critical operational and fiscal priority.
The opportunity
Overlapping renewal and replacement cycles create a natural window to modernize endpoint management before costs compound. Cooperative purchasing vehicles may reduce procurement friction, and aligning action with the 2026–2027 budget planning cycle supports fiscally responsible consolidation.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity and Credential Access Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified information security improvement as a strategic priority, yet current IT investment levels remain low relative to the scope of credential and access management needs. This gap increases exposure to unauthorized access, data breaches, and operational disruption across critical utility systems.
The opportunity
Ongoing IT infrastructure renewal activities create a natural entry point for layering in access and credential management controls with minimal disruption. The 2026–2027 budget cycle represents the most actionable funding window, and cooperative procurement vehicles may reduce acquisition complexity and cost.
