The Superintendent reported that he has established a formal inspection program with maps and schedules for hydrants and gate valves, expanding efforts beyond public assets to include privately owned ones. The program is intended to cycle through all hydrants and valves over time to verify operation and maintain system reliability. While the inspection framework has been internally developed, expanding from informal checks to a structured, system-wide program may create needs for asset management tools, mobile inspection software, training, or contracted inspection support.Vendors providing water system asset management, GIS mapping, inspection platforms, or third-party field services can position themselves to support scaling this program, especially if data collection, reporting, or condition assessment standards grow more complex.

The report notes a new rotating inspection schedule and mapping for both public and private hydrants and gate valves.
