The 2025 Urban Water Management Plan recommends that Rainbow Municipal Water District consider conducting a seismic vulnerability study of its water infrastructure. This would evaluate how the District’s reservoirs, tanks, pump stations, and major mains might perform in earthquakes and identify retrofit or replacement priorities to ensure service reliability. No study has been authorized and no consultant is named, placing this in a conceptual planning stage. This presents an opportunity for engineering and resilience consultants specializing in seismic risk, lifeline systems, and hazard mitigation planning to help define study scope, data needs, risk methodology, and potential alignment with state or federal hazard mitigation funding. Early engagement with the General Manager and Engineering & CIP Program Manager could position a vendor to shape the RFP and follow‑on design or retrofit work.

A seismic study could lead to multi‑year capital projects for retrofits and replacements; useful for...
