This federal Formula Grant award, provided by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Small and Underserved Communities Emerging Contaminants Grant Program (CFDA 66.442), will fund a $345,440 project for the Picuris Pueblo Indian Tribe in New Mexico. The project aims to upgrade and modernize the community's water system to improve resilience and meet Safe Drinking Water Act requirements. Key activities include: 1) Installing solar panels to provide a dedicated power supply for the water system pumps and equipment, 2) Replacing older motor drives with upgraded soft-start variable speed motors, and 3) Deploying flow meters, valves, and web-based household meters to better monitor and manage the water system and detect leaks. These improvements are intended to prevent water contamination during power outages and enhance the overall reliability and sustainability of the Picuris Pueblo's drinking water infrastructure.
