The U.S. Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation awarded a $2,095,174 WaterSMART Project Grant to the Otay Water District in Spring Valley, California. The funding will support the upgrade of 3,749 water meters with advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) capable meters across the district's rural and urban communities. The AMI meters will provide real-time water use data, enabling early leak detection and increased customer awareness to conserve an estimated 259 acre-feet of water annually. The project will interface with the district's existing customer portal to give customers visibility into their water usage. This grant is part of the Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSMART (Sustain and Manage America's Resources for Tomorrow) program, which provides cost-shared funding for water management improvement projects focused on water savings, renewable energy, and sustainability benefits.
