MSWD, like any other municipality, is potentially subject to a disaster event, whether man-made or natural. Water and wastewater utilities could potentially suffer from problems during an emergency, such as equipment failure, leaking pipelines, fluctuations in water pressure, concerns about water quality and quantity, ability to deliver, interruptions in wastewater collection, its treatment, and disposal. The District has prepared a disaster management plan, distributed to all employees, which is periodically updated and takes into consideration county, state, and federal disaster programs.
