Rosamond’s current water supply is a mixture of local groundwater and imported State Water Project water purchased through the Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency (AVEK). Rosamond began using imported water because of its concern about the groundwater basin not being able to support pumping. Additionally, water purchased through AVEK is not guaranteed because of state reductions in water allotment to customers and possible natural disruptions such as earthquakes. Historically, Rosamond has pumped about 2,200 acre-feet (about 717.2 million gallons) of water from the Antelope Valley per year, which it should have a right to do. This is enough water to supply about 4,400 homes per year. Unfortunately, the two large corporations in this lawsuit – Bolthouse and Grimmway – have held the Rosamond community hostage by monopolizing our water supply and continuing to irresponsibly pump more than their fair share from the groundwater basin. If they continue to increase their pumping, Rosamond will lose its ability to use that share of water. Back to Home Page
