California American Water Receives Award for Eardley-Forest Lake Transmission Main Replacement Project

California American Water is pleased to announce that its
Eardley-Forest Lake Transmission Main Replacement Project has been
awarded a 2024 Award of Merit by the American Public Works
Association (APWA) Monterey Bay Chapter.
The award recognizes the critical emergency repairs completed in
2023 following a major rainstorm that caused a large tree to fall
and damage a 30-inch transmission main in the Monterey service
area. This vital pipeline supplies water to the Monterey Peninsula,
and the damage necessitated a coordinated response from the
company’s engineering and operations teams. To reduce the
possibility of future tree incidents, California American Water
designed the project so that the replacement section of pipeline
would be underground and outside of a sensitive waterway.
“Our team responded quickly and efficiently to the critical main
break,” said David Pezzini, Engineering Project Manager for
California American Water. “We understand the importance of
dependable water service for our customers, and we are committed to
taking the necessary steps to help ensure safe, reliable water
service for our customers and the well-being of the
environment.”
The repair project involved the replacement and realignment of
the damaged section of the transmission main and was completed in
November 2023 for an investment of $2.3 million. California
American Water partnered with Monterey Peninsula Engineering and
Blair, Church & Flynn Consulting Engineers to successfully make
repairs while maintaining water service for approximately 100,000
Monterey peninsula customers and businesses.
“We are honored to receive this recognition from the APWA
Monterey Bay Chapter,” said Pezzini. “This project exemplifies our
commitment to investing where it matters, whether that’s during
emergencies or while planning for the future.”
