Stebbins-Area Water Provider: State Registry Lists Western Acres Mutual and 238 Connections

STEBBINS, Kern County — November 10, 2026. Residents looking into drinking-water service in the Stebbins area should check which mutual water supplier actually serves their home. California’s Drinking Water Watch record identifies nearby Western Acres Mutual Water Company as active community water system CA1503475, with 238 residential connections and an estimated service population of 380.

Where the source water comes from

The state describes the primary source as groundwater and lists source facilities named Well 01, Well 04, a standby Well 03 and a destroyed/inactive Well 02. These entries are a regulatory inventory. The status of a particular well may change, and listing an active well does not establish pressure, availability or regulatory compliance at an individual service address.

Why the system is relevant to Stebbins

Western Acres appears in publicly advertised Stebbins-area property service descriptions, but a real-estate listing is not authoritative proof that all homes in the Stebbins census-designated place are supplied by the same company. The full Stebbins census population and the mutual company’s estimated customers are different measures covering potentially different geographies.

Where customers can verify service

The state record gives the company’s physical contact location as 4258 Willard Street, Bakersfield, CA 93312, and an administrative telephone number of (559) 816-5088. For regulatory questions, the Division of Drinking Water identifies District 12 — Visalia at (559) 447-3300. Before a property purchase or an account transfer, ask the operator to confirm that the exact parcel is served and what agreements, fees and current advisories apply.

The state registry is a useful source for locating the system’s public monitoring records and any compliance notices, but it is not itself a fresh laboratory report.
