The Duchesne County Water Conservancy District was awarded a $3,412,680 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) program (CFDA 15.507). The project consists of three components: 1) installing 152 magnetic flow meters on the Arcadia Farms Pipeline and Class B Pipeline, 2) constructing a new regulation structure and upgrading an existing concrete overflow structure at the North Pipeline, and 3) constructing a new heading structure and lining one mile of the Uintah Independent Ditch. The project is expected to result in annual water savings of 2,392 acre-feet through improved water use efficiency and reduced leakage. A significant portion of the conserved water will benefit the Ute Indian Tribe and surrounding agricultural communities by helping to avoid reductions during times of water shortage.

The duchesne county water conservancy district, located in duchesne county, utah, in association with the uintah indian irrigation project, the uintah irrigation company, and the uintah independent ditch company, will undertake a project that includes three separate components: 1) the eastern duchesne projects pipeline metering component will install 55 magnetic flow meters on the arcadia farms pipeline and 97 magnetic flow meters on the class b pipeline 2) the water efficiency and control component will construct a new regulation structure and upgrade an existing concrete overflow structure at the beginning of the north pipeline and 3) the independent diversion and ditch improvements component will construct a new heading structure and line a one-mile section of the uintah independent ditch with GEO-composite and concrete. In total, the project is expected to result in annual water savings of 2,392 acre-feet through more efficient water use and reduced leakage. A significant portion of conserved water will benefit farmers in the UTE indian tribe and surrounding communities by helping to avoid reductions in times of shortage.
