$1.8 million GSW pipeline project set to begin Oct. 3

Golden State Water Company (Golden State Water) would like to alert the Blanco Park and Culver Crest communities in Culver City of a $1.8 million pipeline installation project that is scheduled to commence on Oct. 3. Including this project, Golden State Water plans to invest more than $7.4 million in its Culver City service area in 2016.

During the seven-month period through May 2017, crews will install more than 1.2 miles (6,500 feet) of new eight- inch water main along the roadways, replace 127 services and install 17 new fire hydrants. The project, which is aligned with the recent $600,000 investment to improve booster pump operations at the Bernardo Water Supply Facility, will ensure that Golden State Water can continue providing reliable water service and supporting fire protection for customers in the area.
