Three valleys municipal water district (TVMWD) is a wholesale water agency that serves over 500,000 people in a 133-square-mile area in eastern LOS angeles county via 13 member agencies

The Three Valleys Municipal Water District (TVMWD) was awarded a $168,782 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior Bureau of Reclamation under the Applied Science Grants program (CFDA 15.557). The grant funds the development of a Water Use Efficiency Dashboard that will provide TVMWD's member agencies with tools to effectively manage water use within their service areas.

Key components of the project include: 1) Creating the dashboard to enable water managers to identify inefficient water users, improve demand forecasting, conduct water audits, allocate water budgets, and respond to customer inquiries; and 2) Providing training to TVMWD member agencies on using the dashboard for enhanced water resource planning. The project is scheduled for completion by September 2026.

Due to ongoing and anticipated drought cycles in california, TVMWD is pursuing the watersmartapplied science grant for fiscal year 2023 funding opportunity to implement its water use efficiency dashboard. The proposed project involves the development of a dashboard that will provide water managers at its member agencies with information that can be used to effectively allocate and manage water use within their service areas. The tool kit would enable the water managers to:- identify inefficient water users who would benefit from water use efficiency rebate programs and outreach- improve water resource demand forecasts- provide measurements of irrigable irrigated areas for water audits- create parcel-level water use allocation based on geographic location and climate conditions- comply with regulations on agency-wide water budgets per california senate bill 606 and assembly bill 1668- respond to customer billing inquiries. The proposed project includes creation of the dashboard, as well as training for TVMWD member agencies on how to use the dashboard to improve water resource planning efforts.proposed project task 1.
