\n “At California American Water, our commitment goes beyond maintaining pipes and pumps\u2014it’s about safeguarding the health, safety, and prosperity of every community we serve. The urgency of this mission is highlighted by the recent American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) report, which downgraded California’s<\/span> drinking water grade from a C in 2019 to a D+ in 2025. This underscores the significant infrastructure pressures facing our state, including droughts and climate resilience and aging pipes and critical equipment.
