Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Development
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Sewanee Utility District lacks a documented Emergency Operations Plan, a unified mass-notification system, and any record of emergency exercises or audits — all required under active compliance mandates for community water systems. Continued reliance on manual customer notifications creates significant operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Heightened community safety awareness, a clear compliance mandate, and an annual technology budget exceeding $450K create a strong near-term window to close critical preparedness gaps. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces regulatory exposure and strengthens continuity of service for residents.

About this project
The district operates a fragmented digital environment with separate public website and billing portal systems, creating inconsistencies in document accessibility and resident-facing service delivery. An active contract expiration window within 18 months signals a timely decision point to consolidate platforms and reduce long-term operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
The approaching contract expiration creates a concrete, time-bounded opportunity to re-evaluate and unify digital service delivery before auto-renewal locks in the status quo. Acting within the current procurement window allows the district to align modernization efforts with fiscal planning cycles and cooperative purchasing options that can reduce cost and administrative burden.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The district has an active strategic initiative to modernize IT infrastructure and reduce cyber risk, including cyber liability coverage and access to cybersecurity tools. Without formalized controls, utility operations remain exposed to service disruption, data loss, and increasing cyber threats targeting public infrastructure.
The opportunity
ARP-funded infrastructure modernization already in motion creates a natural adjacency for cybersecurity improvements, reducing the need for standalone budget requests. Aligning cybersecurity investments to existing initiative budgets and the current fiscal cycle maximizes impact while offsetting pressure from General Fund revenue constraints.
