SAN DIEGO -- 

California American Water, a subsidiary of American Water (NYSE: AWK), has entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of the East Pasadena Water Company. Following the completion of the sale, California American Water will become the new water provider to approximately 10,000 residents in Temple City, Arcadia and the East Pasadena area.

"We are pleased to have entered into a contract and look forward to serving customers in the East Pasadena Water Company service area," said California American Water's President Rich Svindland. "Our San Marino and Rosemead water systems are near East Pasadena so we know the area well. East Pasadena customers will be able to take advantage of our excellent conservation, rate assistance and customer service programs once the integration is complete.”

“As a proud water provider to this community for more than 85 years, it was very important that our customers receive service from a company with local ties to the area,” said Tony (Anton) Garnier, owner of the East Pasadena Water Company. “I believe that California American Water, with its long and distinguished service record in the area, will continue to provide the exceptional level of service and care our customers have come to expect. In short, I believe this is the right fit for our customers, the community and our employees,” he added.

East Pasadena Water Company and California American Water Company will now file an application for approval of the transaction at the California Public Utilities Commission.
