California Water Services said it will make critical infrastructure repairs in Salinas’ water system in the coming months and years to continue providing the community with safe, clean and reliable drinking water.
Here is a list of some of the current construction projects that are expected to be completed in the available timeframe, and which areas of Salinas they will affect:
Cal Water is looking to replace 28,191 feet of water mains to prevent future failures of aging and high-risk pipelines.
“We continually modernize and upgrade our water system to provide our customers and the community with safe, clean, reliable drinking water,” said Cal Water Salinas District Manager Brenda Granillo. “These ongoing infrastructure improvements help us maintain a reliable water supply for both daily and emergency needs.”
A Cal Water spokesperson said the two new wells will replace existing wells that have been shut down over the years due to declining natural water quality. They will meet the maximum hourly and maximum daily demand of current customers.
On July 8, Cal Water submitted its infrastructure improvement plan to the California Public Utilities Commission. This began an 18-month review process that will analyze plans to establish fair water rates for customers in Salinas.
The water company said it must submit a new plan with the CPUC every three years to configure new costs to maintain and operate its system and get approval for critical upgrades.
Granillo said that, “Rate adjustments for our triennial infrastructure improvement plan help raise funds for critical water infrastructure projects such as new pipes, treatment facilities, pumps and fire hydrants, as well as upgrades to water supply and storage.”
California Water Service provides water utility services to approximately 126,620 people in Salinas, 16,000 people in King City and more than 2 million people across the state.
