California American Water announced it has received California
Public Utilities Commission approval for the acquisition of the
Geyserville Water Works system in Sonoma County. California
American Water will begin operating the water system as of November

The water system was purchased for $1.5 million and will add
approximately 318 new service connections to California American
Water’s customer base in Sonoma County. California American Water
currently supplies water service to about 2,400 homes and
businesses in the Larkfield-Wikiup-Fulton areas of Sonoma County

Geyserville Water Works customers will be served by a staff that
includes water treatment and distribution operators that are
experts in their fields and hold water treatment and distribution
certifications through the State Water Resources Control Board.
“I am pleased to welcome Geyserville customers and am eager to
introduce them to our conservation program that features rebates,
free services and devices. Our new customers are also expected to
eventually enjoy access to our low income discount program,” said
Director of Northern California Operations S. Audie Foster.
“Through this acquisition, we will be able to provide customers
with safe and reliable water services at a reasonable rate.”
“With California American Water, we have found the right company
to serve my friends and neighbors in the Geyserville Community. The
choice to sell was tough for Karen and me, but it is made easier
knowing the benefits California American Water will bring to our
customers,” said Harry Bosworth, owner of Geyserville Water
Works.
