FOLSOM, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation has prepared a draft Environmental Assessment for an advanced meter system in the City of American Canyon. Reclamation proposes to provide the City with CALFED Water and Energy Efficiency Grant funds to install an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) tower, launch a centralized meter management system, design and launch a website and app for water users to monitor use, and retrofit 3,500 water meters with AMI transponders to integrate older meters into the system. The proposed project would conserve 254 acre-feet per year of water by reducing losses from leaks through early detection and help water users manage their consumption.
The draft EA was prepared in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act and is available at http://www.usbr.gov/mp/nepa/nepa_project_details.php?Project_ID=27268. If you encounter problems accessing the document online, please call 916-978-5100 or email mppublicaffairs@usbr.gov.
Written comments are due by close of business Monday, April 24, 2017, to Catherine Blackwell, Bureau of Reclamation, Central California Area Office, 7794 Folsom Dam Road, Folsom, CA 95630. Comments may also be emailed to mblackwell@usbr.gov. For additional information or to request a copy of the draft EA, please contact Blackwell at 916-989-7182 (TTY 800-877-8339).
