Meter Replacement Project

The Delano-Earlimart Irrigation District is undertaking a project to replace existing water meters within its service area in Tulare and Kern Counties, California, with new Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) water meters and associated equipment. The initiative aims to improve operational efficiency and customer service by enabling real-time monitoring and transmission of water consumption data. The project is categorized as a ministerial action under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has been granted a categorical exemption under Class 1, Section 15301 for the replacement of existing facilities. The scope includes the installation of AMI equipment across the district’s entire service area, with no specific technical standards or performance specifications outlined in the available documentation. The primary point of contact is Eric R. Quinley, General Manager, who can be reached at (661) 725-2526, and the district’s physical address is 14181 Ave 24, Delano, CA 93215.
