The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $17,755,974 WaterSMART grant (CFDA 15.507) to the East Bay Municipal Utility District (EBMUD) to install advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) on approximately 40,000 residential, commercial, and industrial water meters in the Oakland, California area. The project will provide EBMUD customers with real-time water usage data and is expected to result in 1,176 acre-feet of annual water savings by reducing leaks. The water savings will allow EBMUD to better manage flows and releases from the Mokelumne River, supporting ecological benefits and enhancing the district's drought resilience. This federal grant award, with a project period from September 2023 to September 2026, will fund the deployment of seven AMI collector network towers and AMI endpoints across EBMUD's service area.

The east BAY municipal utility district, located in oakland, will install seven advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) collector network towers and AMI endpoints on approximately 40,000 meters at residential, commercial, and industrial properties. The project will provide customers with real-time water use data and is expected to result in annual water savings of 1,176 acre-feet, currently lost to leaks. Water savings from the project will allow the district to better manage its flows and releases from the mokelumne river, supporting ecological benefits and enhancing the districts resiliency to drought.
