Next year will mark 40 years of the Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency. In anticipation of the agency’s ruby anniversary, it has launched its Strategic Plan 2024+, which highlights the plans, goals and vision of the organization moving forward. The 18-page document outlines the history of the agency, its mission, vision and values and provides in-depth goals. The first goal is to operate and maintain a reliable water supply through facilities and infrastructure by developing and implementing a Health and Safety Plan for all of Pajaro Valley Water’s projects, collaborating with partners to improve operational efficiencies, strengthening the partnership between the agency and city of Watsonville and developing and implementing a Condition Assessment, Vulnerability Assessment and Asset Management Plan.
