Infrastructure Upgrade to Begin in Bakersfield

Publicado: 30 de mayo de 2025

Cal Water will begin a water infrastructure upgrade in June that will benefit customers by enhancing water supply reliability and fire protection in northeast Bakersfield. Cal Water crews will be installing a new 500,000-gallon water storage tank this summer that will not only help support current water supply capabilities but increase the existing water storage capacity by 150 percent for community in the area, including Bakersfield College and nearby fire stations.

"Water is vital to our wellbeing, and whether it's needed to drink, cook, bathe, or fight fires, our crews work proactively to upgrade our water infrastructure so that we can maintain a reliable supply of it for our customers' everyday and emergency needs," said Rafael Molina, Bakersfield District Manager. "This infrastructure improvement is a prime example of the ongoing efforts to maintain and upgrade our water system, which help keep water service affordable for customers in the long run."

This new tank will replace an aging 200,000-gallon storage tank, adding 300,000 gallons of water storage capacity to the system. This single-phase construction is expected to begin late June and finish at the end of October, weather permitting. Crews will be working Monday through Friday, from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m., near the intersection of Wenatchee Avenue and Panorama Drive, just east of Bakersfield College. Traffic disruptions are not expected.
