Water Service
Stallion Springs Community Services District provides water to the community. All water provided to the community is from wells (termed "groundwater") and meets State of California standards. Water Department employees of Stallion Springs are all certified by the State of California. The Consumer Confidence Report (CCR, viewable/printable as pages included with the Bridge #143 PDF file by clicking here) is updated annually and posted on this web site along with being sent to residents in a spring edition of the Bridge. Water in Stallion Springs is "expensive" because of: 1. the high cost
to "recharge/replace" the water the District pumps from the groundwater
basin
due to the need for pumping State water for the recharge some 4000 feet
in
elevation from the aqueduct;
2. the State tests required; and 3. operation and maintenance of the entire water system. Stallion Springs CSD encourages all residents to conserve water. For a breakdown of water charges please contact the CSD office. Questions regarding water are welcome. Please note that utility bills with water charges are sent out around the 24th of January, March, May, July, September and November. Recently, with the growth of the community, Stallion Springs C.S.D. has spent one million dollars and is spending another million. This money has been used to extend a 3.5 mile pipeline in the Cummings Valley. The District purchased two small pieces of property in the Cummings Valley and drilled two wells. The District is also to have a 750,000 gallon water tank built. Monies to date to fund the project have been received from what are called water capacity fees. Water capacity fees are paid by individuals who submit plans to build a new home in Stallion Springs. The District has borrowed some money and expects to use future water capacity fees to pay off the loan. |

In some groundwater
basins in California, land owners or other parties
have turned to the courts to settle disputes over how much groundwater
can rightfully be extracted. The courts have then determined an
"equitable distribution" of water that will be available for extraction
each year. In these adjudicated groundwater basins, the courts
typically appoint a Watermaster to administer the court judgment. The Watermaster for our area is Tehachapi Cummings County Water District (TCCWD) and the adjudicated groundwater basin we share is the Cummings Valley Groundwater Basin, adjudicated in 1972 - Kern County California Superior Court Case #97209.
