El grupo invierte 471 millones de dólares en infraestructura en 2024

Para mejorar la seguridad y confiabilidad del agua para sus clientes y comunidades, California Water Service Group (Group) invirtió un récord de $471 millones en mejoras de capital en todas sus áreas de servicio en 2024. Las mejoras de infraestructura completadas el año pasado superaron en $87 millones la inversión más alta registrada en 2023.

Group subsidiary California Water Service's annual Main Replacement Program, the largest portion of the company's infrastructure improvement plans, accounted for $156 million in completed projects. The company installed 189,135 feet of pipe, or nearly 36 miles, in 2024 through this program. Other notable infrastructure projects last year included:

  • 124 storage and pressure tank replacements or retrofits to augment available water supplies and regulate fluctuations in water pressure.
  • 110 water treatment facility improvements to continue meeting or surpassing all primary and secondary water quality standards.
  • 27 Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system upgrades to improve monitoring and efficient operation of facilities throughout the company's service areas.
  • 26 generator and motor control center installations or replacements to help keep systems operating properly during both routine operations and power outages or shutoffs.

"Increasing last year's capital investments by 23% over 2023 helps with wildfire hardening and improving resiliency and sustainability, reflecting our team's rigorous focus on providing quality, service, and value to our customers," said Marty Kropelnicki, Group Chairman and CEO. "Consistently, proactively, and strategically upgrading water and wastewater system infrastructure not only helps us deliver safe, clean, and reliable drinking water for our customers' everyday and emergency needs, but it also helps keep service affordable by avoiding more costly issues in the future. This commitment to affordability has enabled customers to still pay about a penny per gallon in each of our service areas."
