CALIFORNIA AMERICAN WATER ACQUIRES EAST PASADENA WATER COMPANY
Company welcomes new customers with industry leading service

LOS ANGELES (September 21, 2021) – California American Water President Rich Svindland today announced the company’s acquisition of the East Pasadena Water Company, a family-owned company of more than 85 years.

Approximately 3,000 homes and businesses of East Pasadena Water Company will now be served by California American Water’s Los Angeles County District. The California Public Utilities Commission recently approved the sale and the transaction was completed today.  The East Pasadena Water Company system is in very close proximity to California American Water’s Los Angeles County operations center located in Rosemead, CA. 

“Our team is excited to serve East Pasadena’s Water customers and further expand our footprint in Los Angeles County,” Svindland said. “We have a long history of providing high-quality, reliable service to our customers and we look forward to playing a vital role in the lives of our new customers. We welcome East Pasadena Water Company customers and look forward to providing them the same great level of service that nearly 900,000 of our existing customers already enjoy.”

East Pasadena customers will receive welcome packets and customer information by mail, that will include new contact information, payment options and health and safety restrictions that are in place due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The sale will bring many benefits to the former East Pasadena Water customers including access to new services such as conservation programs, MyWater and more.  MyWater is the company’s online customer service portal, where customers can review their account, pay bills and read important service announcements in multiple different languages.
