California American Water Strengthens Water Reliability in Arden-Arcade with New Cottage Way Well

California American Water is proud to announce 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 is an example of our commitment to
providing customers with high-quality drinking water,” said Steve
Dutch, Northern Division Engineering Manager at California American
Water. “By proactively investing in infrastructure upgrades, we
help minimize the impacts of water shortages or pressure
fluctuations during peak usage times.”
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.
“Older wells become less efficient over time,” continued Dutch.
“New wells are built to meet current standards and have longer
lifespans, which means a more sustainable water system for the
future, fewer maintenance costs, and better water conservation. Our
operations team has installed a Variable Frequency Drive at the
Cottage Well site, so the flow rate can change based on demand
needs automatically, saving water and energy.”
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.
