News release: Cal Water plans to invest $1.6 billion in next 3 years
To continue providing safe, clean, reliable tap water to customers across the communities it serves, Cal Water yesterday submitted Infrastructure Improvement Plans for its California districts from 2025-2027 in its General Rate Case (GRC) filing with the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). The application also proposes a Low-Use Water Equity Program, which would decouple revenue from water sales, to assist low-water-using, lower-income customers. … Associated rates set by the CPUC would become effective no sooner than January 2026. In the plans, Cal Water proposes to invest more than $1.6 billion in its districts from 2025-2027, including approximately $1.3 billion of newly proposed capital investments.
