California American Water completes $4.5 million Los Angeles water system upgrades
California American Water recently completed a $4.5 million water main replacement project in its Bellflower system, replacing 8,510 linear feet of aging 4 and 6-inch asbestos cement water main with new 8-inch ductile iron pipes, installing new service pipes for 170 customers, upgrading 13 fire hydrants, and replacing 39 gate valves.
California American Water acquired the City of Bellflower’s municipal water system in 2022, and has since made several upgrades to the system, utilizing the company’s scale and expertise, to improve service to approximately 1,800 homes and businesses in the Bellflower system.
“The Bellflower water main project is part of California American Water’s multimillion-dollar initiative to renew water infrastructure that has reached the end of its useful life,” said Jessica, Taylor, Director of Operations, Southern Division, California American Water. “Our important work in the City of Bellflower makes our system more durable, less prone to corrosion, and less likely to burst – meaning fewer service disruptions and increased reliability for our customers for many years to come.”
Investing in water infrastructure is not just about safeguarding public health and the environment; it’s also about laying the groundwork for economic prosperity. California American Water recognizes that access to clean water is vital for businesses to thrive and communities to flourish.
