California American Water received an $864,500 grant from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to fund wildfire resilience upgrades at two critical water facilities in Monterey County. The project, covering 84% of the $1.03 million cost, will enhance the Carmel Valley Clearwell Tank and San Carlos Booster Pump Station by fire-hardening structures, clearing vegetation, installing fire-resistant roofs, and adding emergency generators. These improvements aim to maintain water service and firefighting capacity during wildfire threats, benefiting 92,450 residents while minimizing local costs. This federal support accelerates essential infrastructure upgrades to protect public health and emergency response amid increasing wildfire risks.
