Court to consider Kings County groundwater pumping case in June
Kings County farmers will have to wait several more weeks to find out if they owe millions of dollars in back fees. The Kings County Superior Court set a hearing date for June 3 to consider a request from the Kings County Farm Bureau (KCFB) to issue a preliminary injunction on the state collecting groundwater pumping fees. … While Kings County farmers await the June 3 hearing, groundwater users in the Tulare Lake Subbasin are still required to submit their pumping reports to the State Water Resources Control Board by May 1.
