The agenda dedicates an item to operation of District water, wastewater, and stormwater facilities, including billings, repairs and maintenance, customer appeals, and shutoffs. This indicates an ongoing operations contract or in-house team that manages day-to-day utility service and infrastructure upkeep. Although an operator is not named, recurring board oversight of O&M suggests continuous needs for repair services, replacement parts, and potentially upgrades to treatment processes and distribution/collection systems.Vendors can leverage this as context that the District actively manages operational issues and may be receptive to solutions that reduce outages, streamline maintenance, or improve customer service and metering.

Agenda item 9 encompasses both customer-facing billing issues and technical repairs and maintenance for water, wastewater, and stormwater systems.

Budget Planning

The Evergreen Underground Water Conservation District posted a public hearing on its proposed tax rate for tax year 2026. The board had not yet voted, and the proposed total tax rate was 0.004494 per $100 versus 0.004353 last year. The tax rate supports operation and maintenance, so this is a budget-setting signal rather than a procurement. The next real decision point was the board action at the August 21, 2026 meeting.
