OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
March 18, 2022 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: Christian Clegg, City Manager SUBJECT: General Information
Notable Items
Customers on the Bakersfield Domestic Water System have done a great job
conserving water since the City’s December announcement of mandatory
restrictions. The City’s Water Resources Department reports reductions of 11% in
February compared to the previous year, 25% in January, 13% in December, and 9%
in November. Combined, that’s an average savings of 16.3% in monthly water use,
more than Governor Gavin Newsom’s call for a 15% reduction.
The City of Bakersfield's Solid
Waste Division collected more
than 10,000 pounds of trash
and recycling items at a pair
of weekend pop-up large item drop-off events held on
Saturday, March 12 in the
parking lots of the Riverlakes
Ranch Community Center
(right) and the Bakersfield
Municipal Airport. Nearly 100 vehicles came through,
dropping off 7,200 pounds of trash, 2,032 pounds of metal and another 780 pounds of recycling. The two events
also saw 21 mattresses dropped off, along with 15 pounds of e-waste.
These events are part of Bakersfield’s Clean City Initiative and are only possible thanks to funding from the Public Safety & Vital Services (PSVS) Measure, also known as
Measure N.
Development Services is working hard on developing its General Plan Update with a pair of public feedback workshops planned for next week. The General Plan is the
