City of San Diego, Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project
Reclamation Funding: $1,000,000 Total Project Cost: $67,568,898

The City of San Diego will implement an Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system, including the
replacement of existing manual read meters with 270,000 new AMI meters on residential, commercial, and
industrial customer connections. The project will provide water consumption data on a near-real time basis
to City staff and customers. The project is expected to save 25,232 acre-feet of water annually, which will
be made available to current users and help to reduce the City’s demand for imported water.

San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District, Regional Smart Meter AMR/AMI Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $1,363,004

The San Gabriel Valley Municipal Water District, located near Los Angeles, California, will install
Advanced Metering Infrastructure and Automatic Meter Reading technology at 2,975 residential,
commercial, and landscape sites. The project will provide accurate, real-time meter reading capabilities and
enhanced customer awareness, which will enable improved leak detection and identification of unusual
water usage so that issues can be remedied faster. The project is expected to result in water savings of 166
acre-feet per year and will contribute to conservation of the region’s limited water supplies and help
improve local supply reliability.

Yucaipa Valley Water District, Advanced Metering Infrastructure Project
Reclamation Funding: $1,000,000 Total Project Cost: $3,697,764

The Yucaipa Valley Water District, in San Bernardino County, California, will install advanced metering
infrastructure on 12,848 residential connections. The project will provide real-time data to enable
customers to monitor water usage and better identify inefficiencies. The project is expected to result in an
annual water savings of 1,335 acre-feet, which will be used to reduce the District’s use of imported water.
After completion of this project, 100% of the District’s drinking water and recycled water connections will
be equipped with advanced metering infrastructure.

Idaho
Henry's Fork Ground Water District, Irrigation Flow Measurement Project
Reclamation Funding: $300,000 Total Project Cost: $664,000

The Henry's Fork Ground Water District, located in eastern Idaho, along with the Madison Ground Water
District, will install advanced water flow measurement devices on 86 groundwater wells. The project will
allow for accurate measurements of groundwater withdrawals to better manage and stabilize aquifer
depletion in the area. The project is expected to result in annual water savings of 4,348 acre-feet, which
will reduce groundwater withdrawals and surface water usage and increase drought resiliency in the area.

Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, Michaud Unit Irrigation Water Efficiency Improvements
Reclamation Funding: $888,818 Total Project Cost: $1,786,818

The Shoshone-Bannock Tribes, near Pocatello, Idaho, will remove a 1,500-horsepower pump assembly on
the Portneuf River and install a new Variable Frequency Drive pump. The project will also line 1 mile of
earthen canal to reduce water losses due to seepage. This project is expected to result in water savings of
5,628 acre-feet per year which will increase tribal water storage and improve drought resiliency.
