Shafter approves easement for new water system
City Council authorized a public utility easement across private parcels in north Shafter to connect North Park and North Shafter to the municipal water system. The plan hinges on resolving ongoing legal issues from the Sellars Water Co. case that began in 1989 and concluded in August 1993 with a Kern County Superior Court ruling in the city’s favor. About 252 residents in the two areas would benefit from the $900,000 project, following bankruptcy and trustee attempts that stalled the system for years.
