TO: Commission Members
FROM: Public Affairs/Conservation Manager
SUBJECT: 5-Year Work Plan
RECOMMENDATION
This agenda item is for informational purposes only, no action is required.
BACKGROUND / ANALYSIS
East Valley Water District (District) provides critical resources to a community of over
108,000 residents and businesses. In order to maintain these services, it is imperative
that strategic planning measures are put in place to anticipate needs, allocate
resources, and ensure maximum efficiency. The District maintains a 5-Year Work Plan
to facilitate an organization-wide discussion about upcoming activities.
The 5-Year Work Plan is a document designed to identify projects and programs in a
manner that provides a comprehensive understanding of the organizational direction
spanning multiple years. Updated annually, the document facilitates an opportunity to
consider the needs of the District while keeping the planning effort focused five years
out based on the Strategic Plan. During this collaborative development process, the
General Manager/CEO met with staff on a program-by-program basis to discuss
leadership priorities, recent accomplishments, regulatory changes, and programmatic
needs moving forward.
The results of these discussions have been incorporated into the FY 2025-26 5-Year
Work Plan to serve as a guide for the budget planning process. Looking ahead over the
next five years, the District is shifting in focus from the unique demands created by the
commissioning of the Sterling Natural Resource Center to one of long-term
infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement.
Projects identified for FY 2025-26 are focused on assessing existing infrastructure and
systems to enhance the District’s reliability, operational capacity, and enhancement of
existing service offerings. The District will take an active role to invest in the
infrastructure improvement programs moving forward, including strategic water main
replacements, systematic valve replacements, increased utilization of database tools
including the AMI platform and GIS system, and alternative energy development. These
types of programs highlight the emphasis on system reliability, resiliency, and
efficiency.
