The U.S. Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $407,272 Project Grant under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507) to the Lower Yellowstone Irrigation Project Board of Control in Sidney, MT. The funding will be used to replace the existing 200-horsepower pump at the Thomas Point Pumping Plant with a new primary pump with a variable frequency drive, motor, switchgear, and remote monitoring and control system. This is expected to result in annual water savings of 4,800 acre-feet that would have been lost due to over-deliveries and spills from the manual operation of the existing pumping plant. The conserved water will help meet peak irrigation demand, avoid water rationing during droughts, and leave more water in the Yellowstone River. The project will also reduce the discharge of higher temperature, lower quality water back to the Yellowstone River. The award period runs from Feb 16, 2024 to Jun 30, 2026.
