California American Water Replaces 2.5 Miles of Main in Its Los Angeles County Service District

California American Water has completed a multi-million dollar water main replacement project throughout its Los Angeles County service district. In its ongoing commitment to replace aging infrastructure and improving water delivery service, California American Water has upgraded 13,300 feet of water distribution mains in the cities of Bradbury, Duarte and the Baldwin Hills area in unincorporated Los Angeles County. This infrastructure project involved a number of different water main segments throughout the mentioned areas.

The $2.8-million dollar project involved the replacement and installation of 12-inch and 8-inch diameter water mains. The completed project is part of the company’s ongoing infrastructure investment program of replacing aging pipes and other system improvements necessary to ensure quality, reliable water service for about a penny per gallon.
