WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. – California American Water has officially broken ground on its new headquarters in West Sacramento, signaling a significant investment in its infrastructure and a continued commitment to serving communities across California and Hawaii. The move underscores the company’s strategic focus on enhancing operational efficiency and customer service in the face of growing demand for clean water solutions.
Kevin Tilden, President of California American Water, emphasized the importance of the new facility. “This new facility represents our long-term commitment to the Sacramento region and the City of West Sacramento. It’s where we have our largest group of customers and employees, and where many of our key stakeholders are based, and where we’re planning our future together.”
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by company employees, project partners, local civic leaders including West Sacramento Mayor Martha Guerrero, and community members. Buzz Oates CEO Larry Albaugh also spoke, highlighting the project’s significance to the region’s economic development.
The state-of-the-art, 40,000 square-foot facility is slated for completion in the fall of 2026. It will serve as the central operational hub for both California American Water and Hawaii American Water. This consolidation aims to streamline operations, improve coordination, and facilitate the implementation of advanced technologies.
Analysts note that this investment comes at a crucial time for water utilities, as they grapple with aging infrastructure, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and the impacts of climate change. The new headquarters is expected to incorporate sustainable design elements and advanced water management technologies, potentially setting a new standard for efficiency and environmental responsibility in the industry.
The relocation also positions California American Water to better leverage technological advancements in areas such as smart water metering, leak detection, and predictive maintenance. These technologies are becoming increasingly critical for optimizing water distribution networks, reducing water loss, and enhancing service reliability.
