Water Treatment Plant Access Road/Asphalt Maintenance

The Central Coast Water Authority is preparing to perform maintenance on the access road to its Polonio Pass Water Treatment Plant to extend the pavement’s service life and prevent accelerated degradation caused by environmental exposure and heavy traffic. The road, constantly subjected to weather and vehicle loads, has developed cracks that allow water infiltration beneath the surface, leading to structural damage. To address this, the authority will implement crack sealing and slurry sealing techniques, which are proven methods to reduce further deterioration and delay the need for costly full reconstruction. These preventive measures are essential to maintaining the operational integrity of the treatment plant and ensuring uninterrupted delivery of State Water Project water to retail providers and end users in the region. All work will be conducted at the facility located in the 93461 zip code in California, with the project publicly forecasted on May 29, 2026. The executive director, Peter Thompson, serves as the primary point of contact and can be reached via email at pkt@ccwa.com or by phone at 805-688-2292. Though specific details regarding funding, contractor selection, and timeline are not yet disclosed, the initiative reflects CCWA’s commitment to proactive infrastructure management and long-term operational reliability of its water treatment facilities. The project is part of routine asset preservation efforts critical to sustaining the authority’s mission of delivering reliable water services.
