What this strategy aims to do

  • Protect water quality through monitoring, process control, and compliance.
  • Improve system reliability by reducing interruptions and restoring service faster.
  • Plan and prioritize capital projects based on risk, condition, and customer impact.

What’s being improved

Reliability & resilience

Work targets the highest-impact improvements first—upgrades that reduce the chance of failures and make it easier to isolate and restore service when issues occur.


Water quality & compliance

Operations and reporting are structured to support consistent testing, clear documentation, and timely updates when required.


Planning & investment

Capital planning aligns projects to measurable needs (asset condition, capacity, resilience, and service impact) so funding is directed where it helps customers most.
