Strategic partnerships The Water Authority has been actively pursuing regional collaborations in 2026, including long-term water supply agreements with Eastern Municipal Water District and a 21-year surplus water deal with Western Municipal Water District. This indicates a strong openness to new partnerships that could be expanded to include technology, analytics, or efficiency services.

Interstate pilots A landmark agreement to explore interstate water transfer and exchange pilots with federal and regional agencies suggests opportunities for cross-border water management solutions, data sharing platforms, and environmental compliance services that support large-scale coordination.

Digital modernization The tech stack includes SAP, SharePoint, WordPress and Microsoft 365, signaling a mature foundation with room for enterprise software integrations, data analytics, maintenance management, and customer-facing portals that can improve operational efficiency.

Asset expansion Recent investments in facilities such as an 88,000-square-foot building indicate ongoing capacity growth and asset management needs, presenting opportunities in facilities management, security, IoT monitoring, and energy efficiency projects.

Public engagement Active collaboration with regional districts and public communications via digital channels (Constant Contact, Zoom) suggests demand for scalable outreach, stakeholder engagement platforms, and energy/wustainability education programs that can be monetized or enhanced through partnerships.
