RESOLUTION NO. 11498 (2024 SERIES)
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN LUIS
OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR GRANT
FUNDING FOR THE WATERSMART WATER AND ENERGY
EFFICIENCY PROGRAM FOR PURCHASE AND IMPLEMENTATION OF
ADVANCED METERING INFRASTRUCTURE
WHEREAS, Congress has authorized the WaterSMART grant program, which is
administered by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, with $5 million available per
project; and
WHEREAS, the WaterSMART grant leverages Federal and non-Federal funding
to work cooperatively with States, Tribes, and local entities as they plan for and implement
actions to increase water supply sustainability through investments in existing
infrastructure and attention to local water conflicts; and
WHEREAS, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) systems allow water
consumption data to be collected by digital water meters and transmitted to an online
portal through a low-frequency cellular transmission device, which will allow staff and
community members more visibility and accuracy of water meter reads, will result in
improved leak detection and water budgeting, and will result in a more consistent meter
read schedule, more accessible water use data, and, consequently, more predictable bills
for customers.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of San Luis
Obispo as follows:
