A Utah pump testing project disclosed that 75 percent of the pumps were operating below 66 percent efficiency, which is considered standard. In fact, in over 120 tests made in 1977 the average efficiency percent. In was 54.5 233 tests made during 1978 the average efficiency was 54.5 percent. In 233 tests during 1978 the average efficiency was 55 percent. Some 40 percent of those tested in 1978 were operating below 55 percent. Since effort was made to test a cross section of the irrigation pumps in Utah, we feel that this indicates a lot of room for improvement in pumping efficiency over the state. Personnel of the Utah made State University and Agricultural Engineering conducted Department the tests. Data collected indicates that a potential savings of 20 percent could be achieved if all the pumping plants in Utah were brought up to 66 percent plant efficiency. Taking into Irrigation project was conducted Agricultural Experiment Station in cooperation with Utah Power and Light Company.
