REPORTS
Counczlmember Salvaggio, Chairperson o£ the Water Board,
read Report NO. 1-88 regarding Truxtun Lake Water Exchange
Agreement as follows:
Due to the extremely dry water conditions
occurring on the Kern River this year, and
because of the potential for dry years occur-
ring in the tuture, City staff has been inves-
tigating alternate sources ot water to provide
a more continuous use of Truxtun Lake for
groundwater recharge.
Following discussions with Improvement
District No. 4 (ID4) ot the Kern County Water
Agency, a tentative Wate~ Exchange Agreement
was brought begore the Water Board on May 24,
1988. The Agreement provides that City Kern
River water can be used by ID4 tot the Urban
Bakersfield Water Treatment Plant and ground-
water recharge in exchange ~or an equal amount
of ID4 State water being used by the C~ty tot
Truxtun Lake.
To complete the arrangement, the City would
construct a water pipeline from the
Cross-Valley Canal located on the north side
ot the Kern R~ver channel directly to Truxtun
Lake. When completed, th~s pipeline would
ultimately provide Truxt~n Lake w~th three
sources o£ water tot exc~ange, including Kern
River, State and Frlant-Kern water.
Bakersfield, California, June 8, 1988 - Page 4
Funding sources for the pipeline (estimated @
$45,000) are currently being investigated and
will be presented in a later report.
The ID4 advisory committee recommended the
Water Exchange Agreement on May 9th and the
Kern County Water Agency Board unanimously
approved the Agreement on May 26, 1988.

recharge area that creates a major visual
impact to the community, the Water Board

mends approval ot the Water Exchange
Agreement.
Upon a motion by Councilmember Salvaggio, Water Board
No. 1-88 was accepted.
