California American Water Relocates Infrastructure to Facilitate Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway Through Del Rey Oaks
PACIFIC GROVE, CA – November 22, 2024 – California American Water has announced the successful relocation of 860 feet of pipe in Del Rey Oaks to facilitate completion of the Fort Ord Regional Trail and Greenway (FORTAG).
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.
“California American Water is pleased to be part of the infrastructure relocation efforts for the FORTAG project,” said Josh Stratton, Manager of External Affairs for California American Water. “By investing in our infrastructure and working closely with the community, we're helping to create a brighter future for Del Rey Oaks and the surrounding areas.”
The FORTAG project is a regional recreation trail implemented in coordination with the Transportation Agency of Monterey County to connect communities around the former Fort Ord area, including Seaside, Marina, Del Rey Oaks, Monterey and unincorporated community areas. The new trail and greenway will provide a safe and scenic route for pedestrians and cyclists, promoting active lifestyles and reducing reliance on cars.
