Construction activities for the main line replacement are listed below with start dates:

1. Pot holing has started to determine the location of existing utilities.

2. The timeline for construction/installation of the new main line will start in December 2025 and will be completed early 2026.

Phases of construction will result in traffic impacts that may include but are not limited to the following:

• Partial lane closures
• Road closures/Detours
• Temporary delays

The District will make every effort to keep traffic impacts to a minimum and allow for emergency access during construction phases. During the final phase of road restoration, there may be daily temporary road closures with limited to no vehicle access available to allow for the paving process including pavement compaction and pavement cooling.

Parking During Construction

The project will be performed in stages that may temporarily impede certain streets. In order to ensure access and expedite construction, the District asks that customers do not park on or next to the street during construction. The following diagram gives a general area of the construction and the affected areas during construction.

In order to provide customers with adequate time to plan and move vehicles from the affected street, the District will notify affected customers at least 48 hours prior to beginning construction on/near the affected street.

The District appreciates the cooperation and understanding of community members as this work moves forward. If you have any comments or questions, please email the District at engineering@carmichaelwd.org.

Thank you in advance for your consideration and patience.

PRESS RELEASE: July 16, 2025The Carmichael Water District (CWD) is thrilled to announce that it has been awarded $2,500,000 for the construction of the Ladera Aquifer Storage and Recovery Well Project.  These funds were part of the FY 2023 Consolidated Appropriations Act (P.L. 117 – 328) and were Distributed through EPA’s STAG-Drinking Water State Revoloving Fund Program.  In FY 2023, Congress appropriated resources for 715 congressionally directed water infrastructure projects (EPA Community Grants) totaling $1.47 billion under the Consolidated Appropriations Act.   Representative Ami Bera (Calif. – 6) selected this project as one of the 715 and their support for this project made this funding possible. “The Ladera ASR Well will be critical for our district,” said Ron Greenwood, President of the Board of Directors. “ This funding will support our efforts to improve water reliability and resiliency for our customers. We sincerely appreciate Representative Bera’s support that has been essential to meet the needs of the communities we serve.”The Ladera ASR Well project is a new production well that will also have the capability to inject excess surface water into the aquifer for use at a later date.   The well will produce approximately 1,200 gallon per minutes and be able to inject approximately half that.  Established in 1916, the Carmichael Water District (CWD) serves approximately 44,000 customers. In the last decade, climate change induced drought conditions and State Water Resources Control Board curtailment orders resulted in a 100% reduction in surface water supply for the district. The district is constructing this well and others to secure residents’ water supply.
