Ted Page, a long-serving director of the powerful Kern County Water Agency, announced his resignation from the board Wednesday. … The agency provides wholesale supplies to water purveyors serving large sections of east Bakersfield. It owns rights to high flow water on the Kern River. It is one of six entities that control the massive Kern Water Bank.  And it is one of three members that govern the Kern River Groundwater Sustainability Agency, which monitors water tables and can set pumping limits. … The process to fill Page’s seat will commence immediately and be completed over the next 60 days.
