The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation has awarded a $6,176,520 Project Grant under the WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program (CFDA 15.507) to the North Creek Irrigation Company of Mt. Pleasant, Utah. The grant will fund the installation of 38,655 linear feet of high-density polyethylene pipe and two hydroelectric units, which are expected to generate 198,000 kilowatt-hours annually. The project will result in annual water savings of 1,611 acre-feet, keeping this water in the North Creek River and San Pitch River. The improved water delivery infrastructure will complement existing and future Natural Resources Conservation Service projects by eliminating flood irrigation and implementing sprinkler or drip irrigation. The project is expected to be completed by September 30, 2027.
