Originally adopted by the Board of Directors in June 2012, the District Sustainability Plan is updated annually in the form of Progress Reports and provides an overview of how District initiatives, operations, and long-term planning efforts support reliable and sustainable water delivery to the community.
This year’s Sustainability Plan Progress Report provides an update on the District’s sustainability initiatives for the 2024-2025 Fiscal Year (July 2024-June 2025). This was a “building year” focused on strengthening the District’s financial and operational foundation. Key accomplishments included the adoption of a new Five-Year Financial Plan with a risk-based reserve analysis, a new five-year Infrastructure Improvement Plan (IIP), and the 2025-2030 Cost of Service Study with updated water rates. The District also completed the 2020-2025 IIP by delivering 43 capital projects within 1 percent of the $50 million 5-year budget, many of which advance the District’s sustainability goals.
Additional progress included expanding the electric vehicle fleet with new electric pick-up trucks, vehicles, and heavy equipment, as well as securing $1.8 million in grant funding for various initiatives that offer sustainable benefits. Together, these efforts position the District to continue delivering reliable water service while building resiliency and preparing for future challenges.
The Sustainability Plan Progress Report offers an important lens through which readers can step back and take a holistic view of the District’s overall approach to addressing the challenges of aging water system infrastructure. By investing in infrastructure, maintaining strong financial planning, and pursuing environmentally responsible initiatives, the District is building a resilient, future-ready water system that will serve the needs of our community for decades to come.
