Case Study: Madera Valley Water Company achieves energy savings and eliminates alarm service fees with Samsara

Madera Valley Water Company - Customer Case Study

Madera Valley Water is a mutual water company serving nearly 2,000 connections in California’s Central Valley. They planned to use an overhead storage tank to shift pumping to low-cost hours but lacked real-time data on pump states, runtimes, pressures, and flows; with a small operations team and a legacy dialer/landline alarm system, they couldn’t reliably optimize energy use or respond efficiently to issues.

By deploying Samsara’s cloud-based monitoring and Industrial Controllers across their wells and main tank, Madera Valley gained visibility into pump runtimes, flows and pressures, allowing them to schedule pumping outside peak-rate periods and cut energy costs. The mobile dashboard and cloud historian reduced on-site troubleshooting and prioritized maintenance, while integrated alerts eliminated dialer/landline fees—delivering faster response, lower operating costs, and improved asset health.
