6. REPORTS
A. Update on Water Usage in the City's Domestic Water Service Area
Tylor Hester, Domestic Supervisor, presented an update regarding the
City's Domestic Water Service Area. California is experiencing its worst
drought since the 1800's. In June 2020 the Governor of California called on
residents to reduce water usage based on the quantities used in 2020. Mr.
Hester referred to graphs showing water usage in 2022 compared to 2020.
Cumulative the City's Domestic Water Service Area saved over 1000 acre-
feet compared to 2020 which is 4% reduction from the 2020 baseline. The
City of Bakersfield Domestic Water Service area has grown; in 2022 we
have 6,000 more residents compared to 2020. Accounting for growth factor
the average reduction is 9% compared to 2020. Board information only, no
action taken.
B. Kern River & Isabella Reservoir Operations Report, Update on Isabella
Lake Dam Safety Modification Project, Annual Hydrographic Report
Daniel Maldonado, Water Resources Planner, gave an overview of the
current Kern River and Isabella Operations, update on Isabella Lake Dam
Safety Modification Project and Annual Hydrographic Report. Mr.
Maldonado referred to several graphs which showed regulated outflow,
natural inflow, and Isabella storage and reported the current the inflow to
Isabella Lake is 159 cfs, outflow from Isabella Lake is 150 cfs, and storage
is at 40,806 acre-feet. In August we saw some monsoonal activity which
peaked the inflow at Kernville to 728 cfs. Current inflow levels are a result
of that monsoonal activity. Current storage levels are at 11 % of the
restricted pool capacity, and 7% of the full capacity. The City's storage is at
approximately 4,750 acre-feet. Mr. Maldonado provided a three-month
outlook with no major changes in operations and Kern Delta Water District
will restart their exchange program with Improvement District #4 to deliver
Kern River water to Henry C Garnett Treatment Plant in October -November.
The forecast predicts 91% chance of La Nina conditions through the winter.
Referring to the Average April -July Runoff chart, Mr. Maldonado pointed out
2022 is the 7th driest year on record, 2021 is the 2nd driest year on record,
and 2020 the 24th driest year on record with our Average Runoff dropping.
Truxtun Lakes operations in 2015 diverted 283 ac -ft and the lakes did not
go dry, in 2021 diverted 333 ac -ft and the lake did not go dry, in 2022
diverted 431 ac -ft and the lakes went dry. The City made efforts to maintain
water levels and the lakes still went dry.
The Isabella Dam Safety Modification Project is nearing completion. The
Labyrinth Weir is expected to be completed in November 2022 with the
Main Dam expected completion in September 2022. The Permanent
Operation Facilities are to be completed in 2023. The Army Corp is seeking
for a controlled fill of the Lake up to the gross storage capacity of 568,075
acre-feet. The flood conservation pool's offseason capacity will remain at
Bakersfield, California, March 9, 2022 — Page 3
170,000 acre-feet from November to January. Conversations between the
Kern River Watermaster and Kern River interest with the Army Corp on
REPORTS (continued)
the potential to increase the carryover capacity following a wet year have
been positive and will be reviewed on a year-to-year basis. The completed
project will allow for increased operational efficiency with higher storage
capacity during the irrigation season. The Project is a positive because the
City will be able to control their water supply on wet years to manage their
operations so the water supply can be beneficially used within the City of
Bakersfield at its various recharge facilities including in the Kern River.
Annual Hydrographic report was completed and distributed the first week of
September 2022. Board information only, no action taken.
7. HEARINGS - None
8. NEW BUSINESS
A. Weather Modification Precipitation and Reimbursement Agreement with
North Kern for participation in Weather Modification Program
Art Chianello, Water Resources Manager, explained this is a three-year
Reimbursement Agreement between City of Bakersfield and North Kern
Water Storage District for Weather Modification Program. RHS Consulting
is the company that North Kern contracts with for the cloud seeding
program. The cost of the program is split 4 ways between the City and
three other Kern River interests. On October 23, 2019, the City Council
approved a reimbursement agreement with North Kern Water Storage
District to enable the City to pay its 25 percent contribution to the program.
The current reimbursement agreement will expire on October 23, 2022.
This agreement is to pay our 25 percent portion not to exceed $268,384.50
for 2022 through 2025. City staff recommends the Water Board refer the
Reimbursement Agreement with North Kern Water Storage District to City
Council for approval at the October 19, 2022 meeting.
Motion by Member Freeman to refer agreement to City Council for
approval.
UNANIMOUSLY APPROVED

W.M. Lyles who worked with Sierra Hydrographics to install the telemetry
and other equipment at 15 locations along the Kern River. SCADA provides
real time surface water, meteorological, and remote camera monitoring.
Data is uploaded to an online portal every 15 minutes for field staff and
office staff to monitor and ensure our deliveries are accurate. City staff

ITEM: 6. A.
TO: Bob Smith, Chairman
Bruce Freeman, Member
Andrae Gonzales, Member APPROVED
FROM: Daniel Maldonado, Asst. Water Resources Director DEPARTMENT HEAD Z�)IGW
DATE: February 10, 2023
SUBJECT: Update on Water Usage in the City's Domestic Water Service Area
RECOMMENDATION: For Board Information
BACKGROUND: Even with the recent significant rainfall and snowpack, California is experiencing
its worst recorded drought since the late 1800s. Because of this, in July of 2021, Governor Newsom
called on Californians to reduce water usage, utilizing 2020 as a baseline.
The graphs on the following page show the water usage and the monthly percentage reduction
for the City's Domestic Water Service Area, by gallons per capita, for 2022, as compared to the
same period in 2020.
In 2022, the City's Domestic Water Service Area has cumulatively saved 1,978 acre-feet
compared to 2020 quantities, which equates to a savings of 4.65% for the year. These water
savings amounts are for the total water deliveries within the system.
It should be noted that the City's Domestic Water System has grown over the past two years. In
2020, the population served by the City's domestic water system in August was approximately
156,226 residents and at the end of 2022, the population served was about 162,217 residents, an
increase of nearly 6000 residents. Therefore, considering the population growth in the City's
system and the reduced amount of water used so far this year, the average water use reduction
equates to approximately 9.01 % per person per day.

FROM: Daniel Maldonado, Asst. Water Resources Director DEPARTMENT HEAD Pine
DATE: February 10, 2023
SUBJECT: Agreement with AECOM for $288..350.00 to develop and provide a Water Master Plan
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends approval.
BACKGROUND: During the March 4th, 2022, Water Board meeting, Councilmember Parlier gave
direction to staff to conduct a Water Master Plan for the City of Bakersfield's water rights and
demands.
The objective of the Water Master Plan is to clearly define the City's current and future water
supplies and demands while developing sustainable management priorities, goals, and projects
as a municipality. In addition, the City of Bakersfield holds pre-existing obligations and contracts
inherited through the purchase of the water rights and assets in 1976 from Tenneco West
Incorporated. The Water Master Plan study will develop management priorities to ensure
municipality demands are met now and into the future while factoring in those pre-existing
obligations.
On December 12., 2022, Water Resources Department requested proposals from several
consultants to develop the Water Master Plan for the City of Bakersfield. AECOM was the only
consultant to respond with a proposal; AECOM is an approved consultant as defined by the City
Public Works Department's Library of consultants.
AECOM will conduct preliminary research, including the development of technical
memorandums, that summarize the City's water supplies, municipal demands, and other pre-
existing obligations. Community outreach will then occur with AECOM, in coordination with Water
Resources,, where a public meeting will occur for public comment and input in the development
of the scope of the Master Plan. The Water Master Plan will then be prepared and finalized with
target completion in earlier 2024.
Water Resources Department is proposing to enter into a new agreement for the Water Master
Plan with AECOM. The cost for the water master plan is not a budgeted line item and would need
appropriation of funds of an amount not to exceed $288,350.00.
