The South Tahoe Public Utility District, located in El Dorado County, California, was awarded a $966,874 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) grant program (CFDA 15.507). The grant funds will be used to install 80 advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) meters and meter transceiver units on residential and multifamily customer water service connections. All meters will be integrated with the district's existing AMI network and customer portal, allowing the district to educate and engage customers on water usage, leak detection, and water efficiency incentives. This project is expected to result in annual water savings of approximately 3 acre-feet, increasing available groundwater supplies to combat wildfires and build drought resilience in the region. The grant award has a performance period from January 7, 2025 to December 31, 2026.
