City of Salem, Salem City Pressurized Irrigation Metering Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $2,432,600

The City of Salem will install flow measurement devices with automated metering infrastructure for
residential and commercial landscape irrigation connections. By installing automated water meters, the City
will be able to monitor real-time flows in the system and more accurately bill each connection for the actual
amount of water used. The project is expected to result in water savings of 460 acre-feet per year by
reducing overwatering. Water saved through the project will eliminate the need for supplemental water
from the Strawberry Valley Project.

Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company, Small Piping and Hydro Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $750,000

The Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company, located near Salt Lake City, Utah, will convert 1,200 feet
of existing, unlined earthen canal to pipe and replace 320 feet of leaking steel pipe with reinforced concrete
pipe. The project is expected to conserve 523 acre-feet of water per year currently lost to seepage,
evaporation, and evapotranspiration. Conserved water will be made available to existing users. The
project also includes installation of a two-kilowatt hydropower unit, expected to generate approximately 8.2
megawatt-hours of power annually, which will be used to help meet the energy demands of the Company.

Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company, Secondary Water Metering and Small Hydro Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $750,000

The Davis and Weber Counties Canal Company will also install 600 new water meters and a four-kilowatt
hydropower unit within the Company’s system. The project is expected to conserve 155 acre-feet of water
annually, which is currently lost due to excessive consumption from non-metered consumers. Conserved
water will be made available to existing users. The hydropower unit is expected to generate 3.6 megawatt-
hours of power annually, which will serve Company loads.

Draper Irrigation Company (Water Pro), Pressure Irrigation Metering Project
Reclamation Funding: $1,000,000 Total Project Cost: $4,134,924

The Draper Irrigation Company, near Salt Lake City, Utah, will install 2,063 water meters on currently
unmetered irrigation connections. The project will increase water conservation and water use efficiency by
providing water consumption data to the Company and its customers and will also enable the Company to
implement a tiered billing structure. The project is expected to result in water savings of 1,092 acre-feet
per year, which will be supplied to existing users.

Duchesne County Water Conservancy District, Water Efficiency Project: Phase 2
Reclamation Funding: $238,000 Total Project Cost: $595,000
The Duchesne County Water Conservancy District, located in eastern Utah, will install telemetry, sensors,
metering equipment, flumes, and weirs on diversions, canals, and laterals throughout the Duchesne County
service area. By addressing over-delivery, seepage, and evaporation losses, the project is expected to save
3,907 acre-feet of water per year, which will be made available to existing users.
