Improving Supply Reliability And Fire Protection in Selma

Cal Water has completed work on two water infrastructure upgrades that will improve water supply reliability and fire protection for its customers in Selma.

The recently completed projects included a tank coating, which extended the life of a one-million-gallon water storage tank in southern Selma, and replacing approximately 3,100 feet of aging water main in central Selma with new 8-inch water main. The main replacement, which took place along Merced, Wright, Logan, Lee and Stillman streets, began in August and was completed in December. The tank coating began in late October and was completed in November.’

“These projects are examples of how we invest in infrastructure in the most cost-effective way possible, so that we can keep water service reliable and affordable,” said Mike Andrada, Cal Water’s Selma Operations Manager, noting that recoating the water storage tank helped extend its life by protecting it from corrosion, leaks, and contamination. “By making sure our water infrastructure is well-maintained, we can better prevent emergencies and keep safe, clean water flowing to communities.”

Both the main replacement and tank coating projects are part of Cal Water’s broader commitment to proactive, ongoing maintenance and upgrades that support safe, high-quality drinking water.
