Agricultural Pumping Efficiency Program for Southern California Edison Company

English | Spanish

The APEP will offer up to eight educational seminars per year in the SCE service area and 750 or more pump efficiency tests in order to augment SCE's on-going Pump Test and Hydraulic Services program.  Please check the Events Calendar on the home page for notices of educational seminars in SCE. 

The California State University at Fresno Foundation (CSUF), through the Center for Irrigation Technology, is pleased to be a contractor for administering SCE’s independent pump tester program. Pump efficiency tests are available to any eligible agricultural or water agency customer with an SCE electric service account. All you have to do is contact the SCE Hydraulic Services center in your area. Call one of the numbers below depending on your plant location:

  • L.A. Area, Orange County San Bernardino County: 909.820.5333
  • Ventura Area: 800.338.8502
  • San Joaquin Valley: 800.634.9175
  • CSUF 800.845.6038

There will be no charge for a standard pump test. In some cases, additional services may be available from either SCE or CSUF testers at an additional charge.

The pump must be running during the test and should be running at a normal operating condition (e.g. it is best to test wells used for irrigation in the summer when the water table is at a normal depth). The irrigation system should be functioning at its normal flow and pressure. In situations where multiple flows and pressures are required, ask that the pumptest man perform a multi-point test.

A copy of the field test and calculations is available at the completion of the test. A test report with recommendations and any other paperwork will generally be available within 2 weeks. For more information about SCE’s/CSUF’s pump test program, please call 800.845.6038.
