California American Water’s Aquifer Storage and Recovery Program Bolsters Community's Water Supply

Building upon over two decades of success, California American
Water continues its Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) program
during the rainy season to capture and store excess water for use
during periods of drought.
This innovative initiative captures excess winter flows from the
Carmel River, strategically replenishing underground aquifers. ASR
is made possible by a well, pump and booster station network along
the Carmel River and the award-winning parallel pipeline and
booster project California American Water installed along General
Jim Moore Boulevard to transport ASR water.
"Being prepared benefits our customers and the communities we
serve," said Mike Magretto, Operations Manager for California
American Water in Pacific Grove. “Our team works around the clock
to monitor our infrastructure and helps ensure that we capture and
store as much water as possible for later use.”
As mandated by the state, California American Water’s ASR
program only captures excess Carmel River flows during heavy
rainfall. With increasing periods of drought, the opportunity for
ASR recharge can be irregular. By combining the ASR program with
water recycling and the approved desalination project, the company
is constructing a diversified and resilient water portfolio to
better serve the community.
Since ASR commenced this season, California American Water has
captured over 300 acre feet of water and injected it into our basin
for future use.
“We work collaboratively with our partner agencies who
complement the great work being done with water level monitoring
and water injection for later use,” said Kevin Tilden, President of
California American Water. “Working together enables us to help
ensure that between ASR, recycled water and desalination that we
can provide the water the community needs.”
Despite recent rainfall, water conservation remains crucial in
California, as the state prepares for potential future
droughts.
