Emergency Operations Plan Compliance and Preparedness
Emergency Management · Utility District Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district currently lacks a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan, a requirement under Tennessee mandate for community water systems, with only a Drought Management Plan in place. Documented water-supply stress and fragmented notification systems elevate operational and public safety risk for the communities served.
The opportunity
The state compliance mandate creates a non-discretionary, near-term deadline, and the district's demonstrated capacity to secure federal infrastructure funding signals readiness to act. Advancing this project now reduces regulatory exposure, strengthens service continuity, and aligns with the upcoming fiscal and board leadership cycle.

Emergency Management · Public Utility Operations
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a fragmented mass notification environment split between a third-party email/SMS platform and a separate county-level alerting system, creating critical gaps in unified emergency communications. Tennessee compliance mandates require a comprehensive Emergency Operations Plan for community water systems, and the absence of one elevates both regulatory and operational risk.
The opportunity
An active drought contingency plan and an in-progress alert modernization initiative signal leadership readiness to act. Recent federal infrastructure funding demonstrates capacity to support resilience investments, and the upcoming fiscal cycle presents a favorable window to consolidate communications, close the EOP compliance gap, and strengthen public safety outcomes.
Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains a WCAG statement but lacks a documented conformance level or formal accessibility audit, creating a moderate but actionable compliance gap. The shift toward digital workflows such as paperless e-billing expands the scope of accessibility obligations and increases exposure to legal and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
Proactively remediating accessibility gaps ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle reduces legal exposure and aligns with the district's ongoing digital modernization direction. Addressing compliance now positions the district to meet federal accessibility standards while supporting equitable public access to essential utility services.
Fleet Accountability and Operational Oversight Modernization
Fleet Management · Operational Accountability
High Priority
About this project
Recurring vehicle maintenance expenditures indicate an active fleet, yet no formal fleet-specific tracking or safety oversight is documented. Regional audit findings involving falsified mileage claims at a nearby school department underscore the accountability and compliance risks facing public entities without structured fleet management systems.
The opportunity
A regional audit environment and growing focus on operational efficiency create a timely case for formalizing fleet oversight before the upcoming fiscal cycle. Implementing accountable tracking practices now reduces audit exposure, supports stewardship of public funds, and positions the district for future infrastructure-aligned funding opportunities.
