California American Water Invests $1.68 Million in Isleton Water System

ISLETON, Calif., Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- California American Water is investing approximately $1.68 million to rehabilitate the Isleton 3B Well, helping strengthen the reliability of the local water system and extend the life of critical infrastructure serving Isleton customers.

The project will restore the well's performance and help maintain the water system's capacity through proactive inspection, cleaning, treatment and testing. By rehabilitation the existing well, California American Water can extend its useful life while reducing the potential for unexpected equipment failures and costly emergency repairs.

"Investing in our existing infrastructure is an important part of providing safe, clean, reliable water service to our customers," said Charlie Wolfe, Principal Project Delivery Engineer at California American Water. "This project will help strengthen the reliability of the Isleton water system while extending the life of infrastructure that our customers rely on every day."

Work will include inspecting the well, removing pumping equipment, cleaning, treating and disinfecting the well, installing test pumping equipment and conducting performance testing before the well is returned to service.

Construction is expected to continue through the end of 2026. Work will take place at the well site along 5th street, and nearby residents may notice increased activity, occasional noise and temporary traffic impacts near the project area.

The Isleton 3B Well project is part of California American Water's Northern Division Well Rehabilitation Program, which provides periodic maintenance at selected wells to restore performance, maintain system capacity and extend the life of existing water infrastructure.
