To comply with the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA), the Kern River GSA developed a Groundwater Sustainability Plan (GSP) that will serve as a roadmap for how groundwater will be sustainably managed for years to come.

The draft GSP is now available for a 90 day public review period that will end on November 27, 2019. The Kern River GSA will host two workshops to review the plan and allow members of the local community to provide comments. These workshops will discuss important issues that can affect the water you use in your home. Your comments on this plan are vital to helping address water quality and water supply challenges in your community.

DISCUSSION TOPICS:

• What is the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA)?
• Your local Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA)
• How can SGMA affect me and my community?
• Review the Groundwater Sustainability Plan

Community residents, private well owners, residents on community water systems, and water and school board members are encouraged to attend. Spanish translation service is available.
