KERN COUNTY LAND COMPANY, a Corporation, Petitioner, v. RAILROAD COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA et al., Respondents.
KERN ISLAND CANAL COMPANY, a Corporation, Petitioner, v. RAILROAD COMMISSION OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA et al., Respondents.
In view of the petitions for modification of the order appended to the foregoing opinion, it is appropriate to state that it was not intended that the commission might not make a general finding as to what water, if any, is available to the consumers in the Panhandle area which is not required by the consumers in the old area and the use of which would not prejudice the rights of the consumers in that area. Furthermore, it was intended that the commission should retain a continuing jurisdiction over the matter and in connection therewith it would undoubtedly have the power to formulate and enforce such rules and regulations governing water service as might be necessary for the protection of consumers of the Canal Company and to permit the sale and delivery of water by it to consumers in the Panhandle area when the same may be done without prejudice to the rights of consumers in the old area for present and prospective domestic and irrigation uses.
The petitions for modification and for rehearing are denied.
