Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification Platform
Emergency Management · Water Utility Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including recurring drinking-water compliance issues, a deficient drought contingency plan, and no dedicated mass-notification platform. TCEQ Emergency Preparedness Plan mandates remain unmet, and a fragmented communications environment split between county-managed systems and district channels elevates operational and public-safety risk.
The opportunity
A new General Manager, an approved FY 2026–2027 budget with a $3M capital projects transfer, and two identified grants eligible for emergency management technology create a strong, near-term funding and adoption window. Acting now addresses active compliance mandates, unifies fragmented response workflows, and reduces risk to public water service continuity.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district has no remediation plan in place to meet the WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandate, creating legal exposure and inequitable access to public-facing digital services. A firm compliance deadline of April 26, 2028 leaves limited time to audit, remediate, and validate digital properties.
The opportunity
The approved FY 2026–2027 budget and a recent General Manager transition create a favorable window to initiate this project with institutional support. Acting now allows the district to phase remediation responsibly, reduce legal risk, and ensure equitable public access well ahead of the 2028 deadline.
Strengthen Endpoint Security and Credential Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district has identified gaps in endpoint protection and credential security that leave systems and sensitive operational data exposed. While a managed IT and security software relationship is in place, password management and endpoint controls remain unaddressed, elevating risk to continuity of public services.
The opportunity
The active FY 2026–2027 budget cycle and recent security software investment signal readiness to close these gaps now. Addressing credential and endpoint vulnerabilities aligns with sound IT stewardship and may be eligible for cooperative procurement vehicles already in use by the district.
Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Visibility Modernization
Fleet Safety · Operational Technology
High Priority
About this project
The district currently operates without dash cameras or telematics, creating limited visibility into vehicle use, driver behavior, and asset utilization. A 20% property insurance increase and a funded service truck replacement signal moderate financial and operational risk that fleet monitoring tools could directly address.
The opportunity
Two identified grant opportunities may fund fleet safety and telematics adoption, and the active FY 2026–2027 budget with capital project allocations creates a near-term spending window. Pairing telematics with the planned truck replacement maximizes public asset stewardship and strengthens the ROI case for action this cycle.
GIS & Mapping System Implementation for Utility Operations
GIS & Infrastructure Mapping · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The water district has funded and is actively pursuing a standalone GIS and mapping system to strengthen infrastructure tracking and situational awareness. As implementation progresses, integration gaps with emergency management workflows present operational risk, particularly given existing emergency preparedness deficiencies and recurring water compliance issues.
The opportunity
With the project already funded and underway, the current implementation window is the optimal moment to align mapping capabilities with emergency preparedness workflows. The approved FY 2026–2027 capital budget and identified grant opportunities provide a clear funding pathway to expand system utility and close critical operational gaps.
