While its main goal is providing safe drinking water to 278,000 ratepayers, the Helix Water District is also investing in sustainable infrastructure. The district recently showcased its $11 million electrification project in El Cajon.\n\nThe project, located on Vernon Way, is designed to power Helix's fleet for the next five to six decades. Officials hope it will act as a pioneering success story for other municipalities in the region as they navigate the transition to zero-emission vehicles.
