Kern County Water Agency Opts to Support Brown’s Multi-Billion Dollar WaterFix Project

The Kern County Water Agency has voted to participate in the California WaterFix project, potentially saving one of Gov. Jerry Brown’s two legacy projects: the Delta tunnels. California WaterFix would upgrade the state’s outdated water system and maintain a reliable source of water for 25 million Californians and more than three million acres of farmland in the Bay Area, Central Valley and Southern California, according to a news release issued by California Secretary for Natural Resources John Laird. To date, Kern is the largest agricultural contractor that has voted to support the California WaterFix project.
