What's On Tap

In 2019, Cal Water established our annual Firefighter Grant Program—available to both professional and volunteer fire departments—to help offset the costs. Since then, Cal Water has given more than $668,000 to fire departments throughout our service areas in California.

Cal Water has helped more than 1,000 of our customers receive direct payments of financial assistance. We’re pleased to provide a range of programs to help those who may be struggling to pay their water bill, including the federally funded, state-administered Low Income Household Water Assistance Program (LIHWAP).

Due to extreme weather patterns, water service providers must be prepared to face different challenges that come with climate change. We're already preparing for these changes by investing in infrastructure projects and ensuring our customers have safe, clean water through our rigorous water quality testing.

While nobody disputes that everyone should have safe, clean drinking water, not every Californian does.

This is why the action California’s state environmental health officials took recently on so-called “forever chemicals” is so important.

Being part of our communities means doing everything we can to help them thrive. Each year, our team members and neighbors work together to help those in need in the 100+ communities we serve.

From delivering food donations to running for charity to providing critical funding, we’re proud to support our communities in meaningful ways.
