DISCUSSION
On June 27, 2018, Governor Brown signed the fiscal year 2018-19 State Budget which included
$4,000,000 in funding for the City of Santa Ana's Advanced Meter Infrastructure (AMI) project.
The City's proposed AMI project involves the replacement of the City's existing water meters
with new smart meters which are capable of being read automatically and provide the consumer
with up-to-date information on their water use. The proposed project is extensive involving the
replacement of approximately 45,000 meters, the integration of new software and database
systems and the installation of a network of data collectors and transmitters. Staff has completed
a feasibility study and is in the process of developing a comprehensive implementation plan.
Receipt of this grant will allow the City to procure and integrate an AMI system, install the
network of data collectors and transmitters and install the initial set of smart meters.
The California Natural Resources Agency has been delegated the responsibility for the
administration of the grant project and setting up necessary procedures for the City to receive
the $4,000,000 grant. The procedures established by the Natural Resources Agency require
submission of an authorizing resolution (Exhibit 1) to complete a formal application.
