The Town of Cheraw, located in Otero County, Colorado, received a $1,579,000 Project Grant award 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 286 smart water meters across the town and four nearby communities, enabling the town to better quantify water use, identify leaks, and improve customer water use patterns. The project is expected to result in annual water savings of approximately 20 acre-feet, reducing the need for groundwater pumping and protecting the local aquifer. The award has an effective date of January 14, 2025, and a completion date of September 30, 2025.
