CPUC approves American Water’s Monterey expansion

The company states: "On December 1, 2022, the California Public Utilities Commission approved the Water Purchase Agreement between Monterey One Water, the Monterey Peninsula Water Management District and California American Water to fund the expansion of the Pure Water Monterey project. While California American Water continues to support the Expansion project, the company will seek a rehearing of the decision on limited issues related to funding of the project and will seek to resolve these issues as quickly as possible. Recognizing that the different components of the water supply project are interrelated, the company reduced the size of the desalination plant in light of the expected additional water supplies from the Pure Water Monterey Expansion."
