The Town of Gilbert, located near Phoenix, Arizona, was awarded a $5,118,182 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) federal grant program (CFDA 15.507). The grant will fund the installation of 38,642 advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) meters and radios for residential customers, which will connect to the city's AMI radio network and provide a customer portal. This project is expected to result in annual water savings of 2,172 acre-feet by giving customers near real-time usage and leak detection information. The grant award will help the Town of Gilbert offset its groundwater pumping and continue meeting water demands, which are supplemented by treated water from the Colorado River and the city's own groundwater wells.
