California American Water awards contract to Covenant Technical Solutions

This project will help CAW meet maximum contaminant level (MCL) regulations for hexavalent chromium while maintaining operational efficiency.
California’s hexavalent chromium (Chrome 6) regulation took effect in October 2024, giving public water systems until October 1, 2026 to comply.
To meet these new standards, CAW is investing in advanced treatment technologies to protect water quality for the communities it serves.
By leveraging a progressive design-build approach, CTS will conduct an assessment and evaluation of each site’s water quality to determine the best treatment solution.
“We are honoured to partner with CAW to make an impact on water quality,” said Rob Craw, CEO of CTS.
“This project highlights our commitment to delivering cutting-edge, cost-effective treatment solutions that guarantee safe, high-quality drinking water for communities.”
The project began in March 2025, with completion by the October 1, 2026 compliance deadline.
