The ongoing water distribution dispute between the City of Tehachapi and the Tehachapi Cummings County Water District has escalated, with both parties taking their grievances to social media. The conflict, which began three years ago, centers on the allocation of water from the California State Water Project. … City Manager Greg Garrett claims that the majority of water from the SWP is being allocated to agriculture, leaving the city with insufficient resources for residents and future developments. … In contrast, Thomas Neisler, general manager of the water district, insists that the city’s goals can be met without additional SWP water.
