PEAK DEMAND
No Smart Meters With Smart Meters
Smart Meter: A wirelessly controlled device
installed on a sprinkler system that connects to
the internet. It is intended to:
• Track the weather and determine watering
needs based on precipitation
• Reduce water usage while maintaining a
green lawn
• Be controlled from a smart phone or tablet
Recommendations for Santaquin City include:• Delay city-wide roll out for another year to double
available Spanish Fork Data
• Focus initial installation in new developments
• Add smart meters as state grants allow
• Target ¼-acre lots
RESIDENTAL BENEFITS
Smart meters led to a peak demand decrease
of 4%. This allows for:
• Smaller pipes in new developments
• Extended life of current pipe system
• Increased availability of water budget funds

Santaquin City Irrigation-Water Conservation Study
OUR OBJECTIVE
Reduce Santaquin City peak water demand due to growth rate of over 5% without modifying the waterlines already in place.
Green SavingsResidents will not agree to smart meters unless they
have a guarantee their lawns will stay green. Our
team created a GIS project to compare levels of green
in lawns before and after smart meters. This delivers
quantifiable results as seen below.
*As of now the imagery taken after the meters were
installed has not been published.
Cost savings• On average, households in Spanish Fork
saved 18,300 gallons of water per year
• With government grants, smart meters will
have little to no cost for residents
Peak Demand Decrease
Water Savings • Potential to save 4 million gallons of water in
the first year
Implementation of Smart Meters • Use Spanish Fork smart meter data due to
similar demographics and climate to
estimate benefits for Santaquin City 2.994.23
