There are several sewage facilities in Kern County. The county serves a population of over 800,000 people. The following are the waste water plants and the waste water treatment facilities:
KERN SANITATION AUTHORITY
In the 1940’s, East Bakersfield area residents petitioned the Board of Supervisors to form several Sanitation Districts to manage wastewater. In 1991, these districts became the Kern Sanitation Authority (KSA). The Kern County Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at 4101 Kimber Avenue.
FORD CITY-TAFT HEIGHTS SANITATION DISTRICT
Ford City-Taft Heights is a County Sanitation District which manages wastewater from the unincorporated areas of Ford City and Taft Heights. Sewer collection for the two communities joins the City of Taft system and gravity flows to the Taft Wastewater Treatment Plants. The Taft Wastewater Treatment Plant, located at 1120 East Ash Street, is jointly owned by the City of Taft (52%) and the Ford City-Taft Heights Sanitation District (48%). The City of Taft operates the sewer plant through a contract with Kern Sanitation Authority.

Wow it is nice seeing how many sewage facilities there are in Kern County! It is interesting how I had never paid attention to these kinds of facilities. Now when I move I am going to look into a lot of things like the water, sewage facilities, and where they are located.
ReplyDeleteIt's really interested to know that you have all of these sewage facilities in your community. I live in Plano, TX and we just have two facilities in our county.
