FUNDED ORGANIZATION: Marana, Arizona
PROJECT TITLE: “Advanced Metering Infrastructure Water Meter Replacement Program”
AMOUNT FUNDED: $500,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Town of Marana, located in Pima County, will replace 2,543 residential water meters with advanced metering infrastructure capabilities with cellular endpoints and interface the new meters into a customer portal for improved efficiency and use patterns for easy data readout. The project is expected to result in annual water savings of ninety-three acre-feet that is currently lost to leaks and overuse. Water saved through this project will remain in the system and reduce groundwater pumping in the Tucson Active Management area that has been designated by the Arizona Department of Water Resources for active management of groundwater resources.
