Continue to provide reliable and cost effective utility services <br />allowing growth to dictate timing and location of new <br />infrastructure. <br />2. Provide residents and businesses with affordable potable water <br />that is safe and high quality. Operate and maintain the water <br />system to ensure its long-term function with equitable user <br />charges. <br />3. Continue to educate the community about water conservation <br />using the City’s website, fliers at City hall, and provide tours of the <br />new water treatment plant and water reuse facility. <br />4. Protect the groundwater source from contamination by conforming <br />to the Wellhead Protection Plan. <br />5. Provide adequate water supply and pressure for residents and <br />businesses. <br />6. Continue to manage existing utility infrastructure efficiently, <br />anticipating the need for repair or replacement and combining <br />reconstruction projects where possible to minimize the expenses <br />over time. <br />7. Continue to be an adaptive and resilient community that utilizes <br />the latest environmentally conservative methods of drinking water <br />conservation, water reuse, and stormwater and wastewater <br />management. <br />8. Continue efforts to become a “green community” by integrating <br />sustainability practices into existing City ordinances. <br />9.
