California American Water Relocates Infrastructure to Facilitate Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway Through Del Rey Oaks
California American Water has completed the relocation of 860 feet of pipe in Del Rey Oaks to accommodate the Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway (FORTAG) project. The operation involved a two-day shutdown of a 16-inch high-pressure water main, requiring careful coordination to maintain customer service. Multiple utilities along Highway 218 collaborated to minimize community disruption. The FORTAG project aims to connect communities around the former Fort Ord area, including Seaside, Marina, Del Rey Oaks, Monterey, and unincorporated areas, providing a recreational trail for pedestrians and cyclists.

Insights
The relocation of 860 feet of pipeline infrastructure represents a relatively minor operational adjustment for California American Water. While the project demonstrates good corporate citizenship and community collaboration, its financial impact on AWK is minimal. The infrastructure modification primarily serves to accommodate a local recreational trail project rather than expanding service capacity or generating new revenue streams.
The operational execution, particularly managing the two-day shutdown of a major water main without service interruption, showcases solid operational capabilities. However, this type of routine infrastructure work is standard for utility companies and doesn't materially affect AWK's financial outlook or market position. The project's main significance lies in maintaining positive community relations rather than driving business growth.
The infrastructure relocation included a two-day shutdown of a 16-inch high-pressure water main, which required operational coordination to ensure uninterrupted water service to customers. Several utilities along Highway 218 collaborated in relocation efforts to increase efficiency and minimize community impact.
