The North Unit Irrigation District (NUID) was awarded a $105,766.64 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 funding will support the installation of a flume at the end of NUID's Pipeline 58-11, equipping it with telemetry, a water-level pressure sensor, and a programmable logic controller. This technology will enable NUID to monitor and control the pipeline flows in real-time, helping to eliminate water losses and optimize the management and conveyance of water. The project aligns with NUID's initiatives for improving water conservation and delivery in Oregon's Deschutes Basin, as outlined in the 2023 Final Watershed Plan-Environmental Assessment. The award period is from July 15, 2025, through December 31, 2026.
