Current inflow to Isabella Lake is at 532 cubic feet per second (cfs), outflow
is at 1418 cfs and the Reservoir Level is at 221,841 acre-feet. To maximize
groundwater recharge to meet City demands, all city amenities including
Truxtun Lakes, Aera Park, and Park at River Walk will be utilized until end of
Bakersfield, California, September 18, 2019 - Page 2
6. REPORTS (cont.)
October and recharging in the Kern River channel will continue for the first
week and a half of October. The City's deliveries for the 2018-19 water
year included necessary groundwater recharge including deliveries to
water treatment plants. Existing water obligations were also met. Board
information only, no action taken.
Update on Water Usage in the City's Domestic Water Service Area for
August 2019
Kristina Budak, Water Resources Director, referenced graphs that show the
water usage for the City's Domestic Water Service Area from January 2019
through August 2019 and the monthly percentage reduction (or increase)
for the service area for the same period compared to the 2013 baseline.
From January 2019 through August 2019 the City's Domestic Water Service
Area saved 3344 acre feet compared to 2013 quantities with a reduction
of 11.92%. With a population growth of 11.58%, the cumulative water
savings over this time period is about 15.3% reduction from 2013 baseline.
Board information only, no action taken.
7. NEW BUSINESS
A. Resolution setting Domestic Water Availability Fee for service areas of the
City of Bakersfield Domestic Water system.
Staff recommends the Water Board forward the resolution to City Council
for adoption at the public hearing scheduled on October 23, 2019.
Art Chianello, Water Resources Manager, stated the resolution is a
proposed water connection or Water Availability Fee increase which is
required to pay for growth in our service area and is not associated with
our monthly water rates. We are applying the City Municipal code of
looking at the Engineering News record annual construction cost index
which showed a 1.19% increase. Our current Water Availability fee is $6,054
per gross acre; with the proposed increase it would bring it to $6,169 per
gross acre which breaks down to a $28.75 increase per dwelling unit. Staff
recommend resolution be brought before the City Council on October 23,
2019 and if approved would take effect November 1, 2019.
Motion by Member Weir to refer resolution to City Council for approval.
APPROVED ALL AYES WITH MEMBER PARLIER ABSENT
Weather Modification Precipitation and Reimbursement Agreement with
North Kern for participation in Weather Modification
Staff recommends the Water Board refer the Reimbursement Agreement

agreement which includes City of Bakersfield, North Kern Water Storage
District, Kern Delta Water District, and Buena Vista Water Storage District.
These four entities have historically participated in the annual cloud
seeding weather modification program. The previous three-year

Update on Water Usage in the City's Domestic Water Service Area
cumulative 2019
RECOMMENDATION: For Board information
BACKGROUND: On April 7, 2017, the Governor ended the Drought State of Emergency
for California's water purveyors. Even though there is no longer a conservation target for
the City's Domestic Water Service Area, the City is still recommending that conservation
efforts by our residents continue due to historically low groundwater levels.
The graphs on the following page show the water usage for the City's Domestic Water
Service Area for 2019 to -date and the monthly percentage reduction for the service area
for the same period compared to 2013.
In 2019, the City's Domestic Water Service Area has saved 4199.86 acre feet compared
to 2013 quantities. The cumulative water savings over this time period is about 9.50%
reduction from 2013 quantities. The water savings amounts stated are for total water
deliveries in the system.
It should be noted that the City's Domestic Water System has grown over the past six
years. In 2013 the population served by the City domestic water system in December
was approximately 136,975 residents and in December 2019, the population served was
about 154,244 residents. This is a population increase of about 11.20% over the six-year
period. Therefore, considering the population growth in the City's system and the
reduced amount of water used during 2019, water use reduction equates to
approximately 14.20% per person per day.
