Cal Water has completed a major water infrastructure upgrade in Goshen, part of its Visalia District, enhancing water system reliability and improving fire protection for customers and first responders.

The completed project included the installation of approximately 4,500 feet of new 12-inch and 8-inch water main and six new fire hydrants throughout the Goshen community. The improvements are part of Cal Water's ongoing commitment to maintaining and upgrading critical water infrastructure to continue providing safe, clean, and reliable drinking water.

"Proactively replacing aging water main enables us to continue delivering a reliable supply of safe, clean water to the community and local first responders before that infrastructure becomes unreliable," said Stuart Skoglund, Visalia District Manager. "We've proudly served our customers for a century, and infrastructure upgrades like this one allow us to continue providing quality, service, and value both now and for future generations, as we look to the next 100 years."

The Goshen project is one of several recent investments in the Visalia District. Earlier this year, Cal Water completed the installation of 2,300 feet of new 8-inch and 6-inch water main in north Visalia. Together, these projects represent approximately 6,800 feet of upgraded water infrastructure designed to strengthen the local water system for residential customers and businesses throughout the service area.

Estas inversiones en infraestructura ayudan a reducir la probabilidad de futuras roturas en las tuberías principales de agua y de interrupciones del servicio, al tiempo que mejoran el flujo de agua y fortalecen las capacidades de protección contra incendios. Al reemplazar y actualizar de manera proactiva la infraestructura obsoleta, Cal Water continúa respaldando la confiabilidad y resiliencia a largo plazo del sistema de agua.

The project is part of Cal Water's ongoing commitment to responsibly invest in and maintain critical water infrastructure that benefits customers and communities for generations to come.
