provides conservation programs designed to help customers cut water
use and features free conservation tools as well as free water-wise
house calls.

Company customers will have access to our various services such as
our ambitious conservation program, paperless billing and web
self-service portal,” said Audie Foster, Director of Northern
California Operations for California American Water. “I am looking
forward to meeting our new customers from Hillview Water Company
and welcoming them to our services.”
