Sharyland Water Supply Corporation, Treatment Plant Efficiency Improvements Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $2,891,392

The Sharyland Water Supply Corporation near Brownsville, Texas, will install a Supervisory Control and
Data Acquisition system, a new sludge dewatering system, and variable frequency drive motors on pumps
at its Water Treatment Plant #1. These improvements will increase the water production efficiency of the
plant, improve process flow control, and reduce spills and leaks at the plant. The project is expected to
result in a water savings of 269 acre-feet per year, which will remain in the Rio Grande.

Utah
Ashley Central Irrigation Company, Canal Enclosure Phase I Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $674,390

The Ashley Central Irrigation Company, located in eastern Utah, will replace 0.6 miles of open canal with
approximately 3,000 feet of 36-inch and 34-inch high density polyethylene pipe and install a screen and
overflow structure, user turnouts, and meters. The pipe will be buried within the existing canal easement
which will be left open to become a future storm water facility for nearby communities. Once completed,
this project is expected to save 980 acre-feet of water per year, which will be used to increase storage
volumes in Steinaker Reservoir.
Ashley Central Irrigation Company, Canal Enclosure Phase II Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $703,860

The Ashley Central Irrigation Company will also convert a portion of open canal to 4,000 feet of
pressurized 32-inch and 34-inch high density polyethylene pipe and install user turnouts and meters. The
project is expected to result in annual water savings of 1,302 acre-feet that is currently lost to seepage.

Ashley Central Irrigation Company, Canal Enclosure Phase III Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $723,340

Lastly, the Ashley Central Irrigation Company will convert another 1-mile section of open canal to high
density polyethylene pipe and install user turnouts and meters. The project is expected to result in annual
water savings of 1,625 acre-feet that is currently lost to seepage.

Burns Bench Irrigation Company, Diversion and Piping Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $600,000

The Burns Bench Irrigation Company, located in eastern Utah, will replace an existing irrigation pond with
over 300 feet of pipe, which will deliver water to an existing inlet structure. The project also includes
installation of a Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition system and a new diversion structure. The
project is expected to result in a water savings of 3,208 acre-feet per year as a result of eliminating the use
of the irrigation pond and conserving water that is currently lost to seepage and evaporation. The project
will make the system more efficient, provide additional instream flows, and increase irrigation supply
reliability.
