This Hazard Mitigation Plan for Covington Water District outlines a five-year strategy to enhance resilience against various hazards, including earthquakes, severe weather, flooding, and landslides. Key areas of focus include assessing existing systems and vulnerabilities, and implementing mitigation projects such as seismic retrofits for critical infrastructure (Tanks 3, 4, 1A/1B, Headquarters Building), water main replacements in high-risk areas (Little Soos Creek Crossing, Soos Creek Water Main), and improving fire protection and secondary water supply to different zones. The plan emphasizes continuous planning, engagement with regional partners, and prudent financial management to ensure reliable water service and community safety.

This Strategic Plan outlines the Covington Water District's direction for 2017-2019, emphasizing continuous improvement in managing long-term water supply, meeting development needs, and balancing capital reinvestment with operations and maintenance. The plan is guided by three key concepts: Community Investments, Infrastructure Investments, and Employee Investments, all aimed at strengthening service value and community connections.
