§ 101031 Bakersfield District Territory Boundaries

This law says a district’s area includes all of Bakersfield city and any nearby unincorporated county land that would get a benefit by being part of the district.

Key Takeaways

  • •The whole City of Bakersfield is automatically inside the district.
  • •Nearby unincorporated county areas can be added if they would benefit.
  • •Only land that is next to (contiguous with) Bakersfield can be considered.

Example

A family lives just outside Bakersfield’s city limits on land that isn’t part of any city. The water district wants to give them water service.

Because their land is next to Bakersfield and would benefit from the district’s services, the law lets the district include that land in its territory.
