Reported water rights valuesFrom Claudia's reporting:
" Golden Hills Community Service District’s recent purchase of Tehachapi Basin water rights from Jeff Ciachurski for $10,000 per acre-foot appears to have set a new record for valuation — at least in terms of completed deals.
The amount Golden Hills paid was more than 53% higher than what the city of Tehachapi paid for rights it purchased from Tehachapi Valley Healthcare District in 2022. It was also 25% higher than the amount the city paid in three other recent deals. "
And:
"
Water district records show that as of March 1, 2023, the city held 2,939 acre-feet of Tehachapi Basin water rights. Since then, the city reports acquiring an additional 55 acre-feet of base water rights from two parties — 32 acre-feet from the Bozenich Family Trust Survivors Trust and 23 acre-feet from the Gerson Stiekman Trust.
City Clerk Tori Marsh said the city paid $7,500 per acre-foot for both purchases."
