May 2019 Highlights
EMWD’s Board of Directors supported the acceleration of its Automated Metering Infrastructure (AMI) program through additional funding in recent years to help expedite the years-long project that involved upgrading more than 154,000 water meters.

With the completion of the AMI project, EMWD will soon be investing in technologies to assist customers in accessing their own water use information. Smart meters provide cost savings through a more efficient staffing model and a significant reduction in fuel costs associated with manually reading meters.

EMWD participated in the California Agricultural Summit hosted by the University of California, Riverside, and the Larta Institute. The topics of the summit ranged from science breakthroughs to advanced food and agriculture research, to climate-smart and regenerative ag, and agriculture water utilization and efficiency. 

A panel on Agriculture Water Utilization and Efficiency focused on insights and market trends. Efforts are underway to encourage the growth of higher value crops that require less water and also to fully utilize technology in agriculture to reduce water use.

Living in Southern California, using water wisely is a way of life. EMWD’s WaterWise Plus initiative enhances regional support and provides added resources to help current and future customers stay WaterWise and save money! 

In addition to promoting the many residential and commercial rebates and turf replacement funding programs offered by The Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, EMWD has a whole host of programs designed to further educate and support customers in their water use efficiency efforts.
