Company Profile
The California-Michigan Land and Water Company (Cal-Mich) was the predecessor
to the East Pasadena Water Company. Cal-Mich was incorporated on December 23,
1910. The primary purpose of the Company was to develop and subdivide land.
However, a domestic water system was a necessity for the successful sale of
land and in 1913 the Company established such a system and began functioning as
a public utility.
The area originally served by Cal-Mich was known as the Michillinda Tract and
consisted of about 100 acres. In 1913, Cal-Mich was authorized to extend its
service into an area known as South Santa Anita. In order to accomplish this, it
purchased the water-purveying portion of the Cribb-Brodek Light and Water
Company, who had acquired such rights in 1902 from E.J. Baldwin. In 1930, Cal-Mich
acquired all of the stock of the East Pasadena Water Company and connected that
system to its own. The East Pasadena Water Company served a portion of the A.B.
Chapman Estate and Tract No. 4613.
In 1936, the Arcadia Avenue section was added to the Cal-Mich system. All of
the acquisitions have brought the Company to its current service area
boundaries. In 1963, Cal-Mich was authorized to sell and transfer its water
system properties to the East Pasadena Water Company a wholly owned subsidiary.
At the same time, Cal-Mich was relieved of its public utility status by the
California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). Thereafter Cal-Mich has
concentrated solely on its land business. The Company now serves water to
approximately 9,400 customers.
