In 1998, Monte Vista Water District began implementation of a comprehensive plan that was developed to update water production, storage and distribution infrastructure. With some of the District's facilities more than 70 years old, there is a great need for rehabilitation or replacement.

The Facilities Master Plan outlines various capital improvement projects to be completed over a 30-year time frame at a cost of approximately $45 million. A comprehensive financial master plan has been developed to provide funding mechanisms for on-going implementation of the plan and to define on-going service rates.

The improvements to the water production and water distribution systems are resulting in:

• Increased efficiency of operations
  
• Reduction of long term costs
  
• Improvement of water quality and water reliability
  
• Ability to meet regulatory requirements

The projects identified include:

• Pipeline relining or replacement
  
• Seismic improvements
  
• Booster pump rehabilitation or replacement
  
• Reservoir rehabilitation or replacement
  
• Water quality improvements
  
• Well rehabilitation and replacement
  
• Water supply enhancement and development
