The North Kings Groundwater Sustainability Agency (GSA) is a Joint Powers Authority formed in December 2016 through adoption of a Joint Powers Agreement by the following public agencies: Fresno Irrigation District, the County of Fresno, the City of Fresno, the City of Clovis, the City of Kerman, Biola Community Services District, Garfield Water District, and International Water District. Following adoption, these founding members approved membership of Bakman Water Company and the Fresno Metropolitan Flood Control District through separate binding agreements.
The North Kings GSA’s jurisdiction includes a portion of the Kings Subbasin (DWR Bulletin 118, 5-22.08) that includes the service areas of member agencies consistent with requirements of the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act of 2014. The roles and responsibilities of member agencies are discussed in the North Kings GSA Joint Powers Agreement (see link).
