Emergency Operations Plan Development for Water System Compliance
Emergency Management · Public Utility Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Spring Creek Utility District currently has no Emergency Operations Plan in place, a direct compliance requirement for public water systems. A recent ice storm caused significant damage to water infrastructure and power systems, exposing critical preparedness gaps that put service continuity and public safety at risk.
The opportunity
Incident-driven urgency and active county-level budget momentum for communication equipment signal a near-term window to act within the next 90 days. Formalizing an EOP now addresses a standing compliance mandate, reduces operational liability, and positions the district for future state and federal preparedness funding eligibility.
Unified Mass Notification System for Emergency Response
Emergency Management · Public Utility Operations
High Priority
About this project
Spring Creek Utility District lacks a unified mass notification system, leaving residents without reliable emergency alerts — a gap exposed during a recent ice storm that caused significant damage to water and power infrastructure. An Emergency Operations Plan is mandated for water systems but is not yet in place, creating compounding compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
No existing system requires displacement, making this a straightforward implementation with no transition disruption. County-level budget amendments for communication equipment signal active regional investment, and a 90-day priority window aligns with current fiscal planning cycles to advance both compliance and public safety outcomes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance
Web Accessibility · Digital Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The district faces a federal mandate to achieve WCAG 2.1 AA conformance across all public-facing digital properties by 2027, including payment portals under active modernization. Non-compliance exposes the district to legal risk and creates barriers to equitable digital access for residents.
The opportunity
The 2027 compliance deadline creates a defined planning window, and the district's existing investment in digital service modernization provides a natural entry point to embed accessibility standards now. Acting within the current fiscal cycle avoids costly remediation and supports equitable, uninterrupted public service delivery.
Cybersecurity Plan & Program Development for Public Utilities
Cybersecurity Compliance · Public Utility Infrastructure
High Priority
About this project
A cybersecurity plan is explicitly mandated for public utilities but is not currently in place, creating direct regulatory exposure. With no existing solutions in the environment, the district faces unmitigated risk to critical infrastructure and operational continuity.
The opportunity
Compliance mandates create a clear, near-term driver for action, and the absence of any incumbent solution means planning and procurement can move forward without displacement barriers. Addressing this within the current fiscal cycle reduces regulatory risk and strengthens the resilience of essential public services.
