Consolidation of South Kern and Old River Mutual Water Companies into the City of Bakersfield Water System AR 6060 Prop1

Consolidation of South Kern and Old River Mutual Water Companies into the City of Bakersfield Water System AR 6060 Prop1

Old River Mutual Water Company (MWC) and South Kern MWC provide water service to residential and commercial customers located in the community of Old River in unincorporated Kern County. Each MWC operates using a single well, and both wells produce water that exceeds allowable levels of contaminants. Therefore, the proposed project includes the abandonment of the two wells and the extension of the City of Bakersfield’s water system to consolidate both MWCs into the City of Bakersfield’s water system. The proposed project would involve the construction of approximately 6,000 linear feet of a new 10-inch water main, 1,600 linear feet of 8-inch lateral pipelines, and 29 household connections. Three fire hydrants would also be installed, and the two MWC wells would be abandoned as part of the project. The new 16-inch water main would be located within the disturbed portions of Old River Road and SR-119. The proposed 8-inch lateral pipelines and household connections would be located within disturbed portions of Par Street, Beam Street, and front yards of existing residences.
