The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation, through its WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) grant program (CFDA 15.507), awarded $200,432 on February 11, 2025 to the Joshua Valley Utility Company in Meadview, Arizona. The grant will fund the upgrade of 400 manual read residential and commercial water meters with advanced meter reading technology. This project will enhance the utility's operational efficiency, improve leak detection, reduce water losses, provide accurate and timely data collection, and improve the overall reliability of the water supply system. The new metering technology will allow the utility to access real-time water usage and leak detection data to make informed decisions about water conservation. This project aligns with local and state water resource agencies' goals for improved water management and conservation.
