About Caliagua, Inc.
Since 1978, Caliagua has been at the forefront of constructing, rehabilitating, a modernizing water, and wastewater systems across California. Founded by Oscar Bruner, the company later passed to his son, Gus Bruner, who - alongside his brother Andrew - represented the second generation of leadership.

In 2014, Gus Bruner invited Cory Wolfrom to join Caliagua, marking the emergence of a third generation of leadership within the family business. Joining at a pivotal moment, Cory played a key role in rebuilding and scaling the organization, helping transform Caliagua into a modern, technology-enabled contractor capable of executing increasingly complex water infrastructure projects.

Asked about Caliagua's future, Bruner said, "One thing that has always defined Caliagua is a willingness to evolve—adopting better processes, new technology, and smarter ways of working while never compromising safety or quality. This company's strength comes from being local, from knowing our clients, agencies, and communities. That doesn't change. Our operations stay here, our leadership stays engaged, and our commitment to California water infrastructure remains exactly the same. This isn't the end of a story—it's the next chapter."
