The Enos Lane Public Utility District is a small public water system that supplies water to the Calder's Corner Area on the corner of Rosedale Highway and Enos Lane.
The District is managed and operated by 5 volunteer community members who serve as the District's Board and we do not have any employees. The best way to contact us for non-emergency questions/comments/concerns, including billing questions, is through email at enoslanepud@gmail.com
If you are experiencing a water service emergency (water service has stopped, broken main service lines, etc.) please contact the Board President, Vincent Arriola, directly at (661)706-4314.
Did you know?
The majority of our operating cost is our monthly PG&E bill. Minimizing water usage during PG&E's peak hours is one of the best ways to help ensure we can keep up with their ever-increasing rates without continuous rate increases of our own.

California Lead and Copper Rule - Lead Line Inventory Report
The State Water Resources Control Board, through the Division of Drinking Water (DDW), enforces the California Lead and Copper Rule (CA LCR), which is aligned with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (US EPA’s) Lead and Copper Rule (LCR). This new requirement from the state may require that representatives of the Enos Lane Public Utility District access your property to verify water line materials. The report will require that we verify materials used on both ELPUD's service lines as well as the private home-side of the connection entering the household. ELPUD WILL NOT REQUIRE, OR ASK FOR, ACCESS INSIDE YOUR HOME. We will just need access to view your side of the main connection and where the water line enters the household. An ELPUD board member will contact you if access to your property is required.

Avoid watering mid-day - especially in the Bakersfield heat. The EPA estimates up to 20-30% of sprinkler water is lost to evaporation when watering during the day.
Regularly check your indoor and outdoor plumbing for leaks. The average household could lose nearly 10,000 gallons of water per year due to small leaks like dripping faucets and faulty toilet flappers.
There are multiple government funded agencies for assistance in housing, utilities, food, family services and more available in California. If you're in need of any of these assistance programs, head over to https://findhelp.org for a centralized listing of available services in our area.
