Alderwood Water & Wastewater District Strategic Plan 2017

Water for life, forever.

Alderwood Water & Wastewater District strives to build and maintain a system that will function for the next 100 years and beyond. We protect the natural environment, conserve water resources, and provide critical services, every day. This Strategic Plan is a guide to how we can best serve customers today and in the future.

Our world is changing.

Development, population growth, demographics, and technology affect the work we do and how we do it. To adapt to these changes and grow with the region, we must work in partnership with our communities and peers. We are evolving with our industry and strive to learn and lead while learning from our peers and collaborating with our partners.

Our physical system is aging.

Some parts of the system need repair and others need replacement. We take a proactive, progressive approach to managing our infrastructure. As we develop a comprehensive infrastructure management program, we will minimize the cost of owning and operating our assets, all while delivering the high service levels our community expects.

Our commitment to the future.

Balancing our responsibility to future generations with our day-to-day demands isn’t easy, which is why we developed this Strategic Plan to guide us. Delivering clean, safe drinking water and reliable wastewater services is important work, and we look forward to building on our current efforts… with forever in mind.
