… Cal Water Service initially sent an advisory asking people in Office Park Drive, Commercial Way, Commerce Drive, and Truxtun Avenue, between Mohawk Street and Westside Parkway, to not drink or use their tap water until further notice. They stated the reasoning for the advisory came from a private customer’s oil backflowing into the water distribution. It eventually left 42 customers without water for days, some even with noticeable damages. In a lawsuit filed by the city of Bakersfield a month after the incident, Deputy City Attorney Matthew Collom told Eyewitness News they named Griffin Resources LLC responsible for the contamination. “The city hopes to recoup those damages in turn from Griffin. That’s really what this is,” said Collom.
