California American Water announced the completion of the Cottage Way Well Project, a critical investment that helps ensure a safe, reliable water supply for the Arden-Arcade community within the greater Sacramento region. The $3.3 million project, part of the company's larger Regional Well Installation and Replacement Program, included the construction of a newly drilled well, waterline installation, driveway and sidewalk restoration, roadway improvements, and landscaping. The Cottage Way Well was built to replace an aging well, over 60 years old, that was taken out of service.

The new well meets and surpasses all drinking water quality standards. The Cottage Way Well project exemplifies California American Water's continued commitment to preemptively addressing aging infrastructure. Several wells in the Sacramento area are nearing or have already exceeded their designed 60-year lifespan.

California American Water will continue to invest in critical upgrades throughout the region, to help ensure customers have high-quality water for decades to come.
