California American Water has injected more than 240 acre-feet (approximately 78 million gallons) of excess winter flows from the Carmel River into the Seaside Groundwater Basin since December 26, 2025, as part of its two-decades-old Aquifer Storage and Recovery (ASR) program. Utilizing a network of wells, booster stations and conveyance pipelines along General Jim Moore Boulevard, the company aims to bolster regional water resilience amid fluctuating rainfall patterns. Last water year, the ASR initiative stored over 715 acre-feet (233 million gallons), and California American Water is combining ASR with water recycling and an approved desalination project to secure supplies for its 700,000 customers in Monterey County. The program operates only during mandated high‐flow conditions, and ongoing partnerships with local agencies ensure compliance with state recharge regulations and infrastructure maintenance.
