Kern County Supervisors Designate Colonias for Water Aid
Kern County Supervisors designated several south Shafter communities as colonias to unlock Farmer's Home Administration funds for potable water. Areas including Smith's Cornet Cherokee Strip Mexican Colony Burbank Water Association and others lack clean water and may be connected to Shafter's system at an estimated cost near one million dollars. Engineering proposals are under review with plans to connect to the city system if town residents incur no cost.
