San Jose Water was selected as the recipient for the prestigious annual honor for the innovative design-build approach it took to constructing its Montevina Ultrafiltration Water Treatment Plant and the substantial benefits the upgraded water treatment facility offers to the customers served by this plant.

“The project approach led to a progressive design and the implementation of leading edge technology and gave San Jose Water the largest ultrafiltration membrane treatment plant of its type in the United States,” said Eric W. Thornburg, SJW Group Chairman, President and CEO. “Our flexible design-build approach enabled us to manage budget and scope and thereby minimize the rate impact to San Jose Water customers.”

The Innovation Awards reflect NARUC’s commitment to promoting the exchange of knowledge and information that will benefit innovation in regulatory issues. The Awards recognize innovators in the various utility sectors.

San Jose Water serves more than 1 million people in San Jose, Campbell, Cupertino, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno and Saratoga. The regulated utility is a subsidiary of SJW Group, which also owns SJWTX, Inc. in the Texas hill country and SJW Land Company.
