California American Water awards Hexavalent Chromium Removal contract to Covenant Technical Solutions

Project protects public health, ensures compliance with new water quality regulations for Southern California communities

DANVILLE, CA, UNITED STATES, April 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Covenant Technical Solutions™ (CTS™), a leading integrated solutions provider in the water sector, has been awarded a contract by California American Water (CAW) to lead a progressive design-build advanced Hexavalent Chromium Removal system across multiple well sites in Southern California. 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 honored 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.”

CTS’s progressive design-build team will bring together industry-leading expertise to safeguard California’s water supply, while showcasing the importance of strategic outcomes as it partners with Pacific Advanced Civil Engineering (PACE) as Designer/Engineer of Record and Hazen & Sawyer as Chromium Technical Advisor.

With a proven track record in delivery projects, CTS continues to set the standard for innovation and excellence in water treatment.

The project began in March 2025, with completion by the October 1, 2026 compliance deadline.
