Working Together to Ensure Fire Safety on the Monterey Peninsula

California American Water and the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea have been working together to re-commission fire hydrants throughout the city to improve fire safety. The hydrant replacement program began last year after 29 fire hydrants were found to have insufficient flows.

Taking care of the problem means upgrading underground water mains, and in some cases, replacing fire hydrants. The Carmel Fire Department has worked collaboratively with California American Water to identify a priority list of hydrants to be upgraded or replaced. In the process, the fire department recommended relocating or removing some hydrants.

After the first phrase of repairs and upgrades, the vast majority of hydrants are fully functional, and the Carmel-by-the-Sea fire hydrant network is capable of supporting fire fighters throughout the city with 182 operational hydrants.

In addition, we expect to have all the hydrant repairs and installations completed by the end of 2008. Thank you for your continued understanding and patience during this process. Together, California American Water and the city of Carmel-by-the-Sea are committed to providing the best quality water service and fire protection possible.
