The District office is undergoing an extensive remodel and addition project that is expected to last six months. There is no access to the District office building and parking lot. Please use Ramos Avenue for public parking during this time. All District staff will be positioned in temporary office locations in the yard and shop. There will be signage directing the public to Ramos Avenue where they will find access to the temporary office trailer. Our water delivery capabilities will not be diminished during the project. However, we ask that in-person visits be kept to a minimum and encourage our customers to do as much business as possible over the phone.

To help visualize the current state of the River, the District is providing this graph that compares flow rates for the two-year periods of 2017-2018, 2018-2019, the current period of 2019-2020, as well as other two-year periods in which the first year was above average for the Kern River. The flows for this year are estimates only and subject to revision.
