Reliable Water & Utility Services

Objective · 0 public measure

Below Plan
  1. The objective closes this eight-quarter sequence green, holding steady quarter-over-quarter and giving Council a credible through-line: reliable service today while renewing the system underneath it.
  2. Q2 benefited from warmer construction weather, with crews advancing Old Ferry Road design verification and completing valve replacements tied to renewal package PR-26A.
  3. Growth pressure is real in Harborview, especially around the south waterfront permit cohort, but the utility review process is catching capacity questions before certificates of occupancy.
  4. The water-main problem remains serious and actively managed through Pipeline Renewal, and the key improvement over this arc is that we now have a repeatable operating model rather than a heroic scramble.

Safe & Well-Maintained Public Assets

Objective · 1 public measure

Caution
  1. The Infrastructure Condition Index improved 1 point quarter over quarter, from 71 to 72, which keeps the objective yellow but shows the first benefit of converting Pipeline Renewal work into permanent assets.
  2. Permanent restoration closed on four Harbor Heights blocks, and the new main segment tied into the system with no service interruptions during the June pressure window.
  3. Growth pressure is still real, with new permit activity in North Harbor adding curb, sidewalk, and utility acceptance inspections to an already full asset queue.
  4. For Council, I would call this a measured turn upward: not yet at the >=75 target, but better positioned than the winter low and backed by cleaner data.
