AVEK develops another water bank

PALMDALE — Antelope Valley-East Kern Water Agency is developing another water bank in which surplus water imported from Northern California, through the State Water Project, is stored underground, to be retrieved as needed, through wells. The High Desert Water Bank is on a 1,500-acre site on the Valley’s western side, roughly between 280th Street West and 300th Street West and between the California Aqueduct and Avenue A.
