California upgrades nearly 100-year-old water infrastructure
The city of Carmel-by-the-Sea, Calif., celebrated the completion of a new underground water main pipe project, marking an important investment in local infrastructure. The project involved the installation of a new water main along Dolores Street, designed to strengthen system performance, improve fire protection, reduce the risk of service interruptions and better serve residents. By replacing approximately 1,000 feet of the nearly 100-year-old, four-inch cast iron pipe with eight-inch PVC pipe, the work will ensure a more dependable system and prevent future service interruptions.
“Projects like this are about more than just pipe in the ground; they are about investing in the people and neighborhoods we serve every day,” said David Pezzini, Senior Project Manager. “When we modernize essential infrastructure, we are making a long-term commitment to reliability, public health and the overall quality of life in our community.”
