All-Hazards Emergency Operations Plan Development
Emergency Management · Water Utility Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a publicly identified all-hazards EOP and a unified mass-notification platform, while SCADA alerts to partner cities remain manual—creating significant operational exposure during water-supply emergencies and leaving staff and communities without a coordinated response framework.
The opportunity
An incoming General Manager in May 2026 and active capital modernization create a timely window for EOP adoption, supported by an emergency management mandate tied to a Drought Contingency Plan update and an established IT budget that signals readiness for investment.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district currently relies on fragmented, manual SCADA-to-city alerts rather than a unified mass notification platform, creating reliability and reach gaps during water supply or public safety incidents. The absence of a district-specific notification system and an all-hazards EOP elevates operational and community safety risk.
The opportunity
An active IT refresh budget, an incoming leadership transition in May 2026, and documented emergency preparedness gaps create a timely window for evaluation and adoption. Consolidating notification infrastructure now reduces incident response risk, supports compliance, and aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle.

Cybersecurity Compliance · OT & Infrastructure Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The district faces an active 48-hour cybersecurity incident reporting mandate with no confirmed credential or endpoint security controls in place, creating measurable compliance and operational risk. The 2026 budget reflects acknowledged gaps in endpoint protection and disaster recovery, signaling urgency ahead of a leadership transition.
The opportunity
The 48-hour reporting requirement creates immediate compliance urgency independent of procurement cycles, and the 2026 budget already earmarks spending for cybersecurity and disaster recovery. Addressing credential management and OT resilience now positions the district ahead of the incoming General Manager's operational review and aligns with EPA infrastructure resilience funding frameworks.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district's 2026 budget includes dedicated line items for computer and server replacement, endpoint protection, software, and disaster recovery, signaling active infrastructure gaps. A 48-hour cybersecurity incident reporting mandate adds compliance urgency to an already time-sensitive technology refresh cycle.
The opportunity
FY2026 funding is already allocated, making this a near-term, budget-confirmed opportunity aligned with an incoming leadership transition in May 2026. Acting now ensures operational continuity, strengthens cyber resilience, and positions the district ahead of compliance deadlines.

ADA Compliance · Digital Accessibility
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a mandatory WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance requirement under ADA Title II with a 2028 deadline, and current web properties likely require structured remediation to meet the standard. Without a phased plan in place, the risk of non-compliance, resident access barriers, and last-minute remediation costs increases significantly.
The opportunity
The 2028 deadline creates a defined planning horizon, and the 2026 budget already references website maintenance spending—making this an ideal cycle to formalize a remediation roadmap. Early action enables phased investment, reduces compliance risk, and ensures equitable digital access for all residents served.
Drought Contingency Plan Compliance Update
Emergency Management · Water Infrastructure Resilience
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a regulatory mandate to update its Drought Contingency Plan, directly tied to water-supply risk management. Broader emergency preparedness gaps — including no all-hazards EOP and reliance on manual SCADA alerts — elevate operational and public-safety risk.
The opportunity
This non-discretionary, mandate-driven update aligns with the district's active infrastructure modernization cycle and an incoming leadership transition, creating a timely window for broader emergency preparedness investment eligible for infrastructure resilience funding programs.
