Kern Delta Water Supply Update
The last three months of the calendar year mark Preserved Entitlement season for Kern Delta water rights. The Kern Island has a monthly cap of available water October through January, resulting in limited daily supply available to growers. Other entitlements may be available in short periods depending on River flow volume and Powerflow obligations.
To provide more options for our water users, the District is now accepting water orders via text message. Text messages will only be monitored from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM and are only for orders for the following day, not for day of changes. Day of changes are required to go through the 24-hour Dispatch line (661) 834-4653. When texting orders, please include grower name, turnout, and flow rate. A confirmation message will be provided back to the grower to confirm the order. The District Text Messaging line is (661) 485-4017. |
