It's been nearly a month since King City Community Power
launched in order to help residents save money on their energy bills. City
Manager Steven Adams said that the number of people opting out of this has been below what they expected and because of that, he thinks that the City of King will meet their financial projections through KCCP. Adams stated that King City Community Power

this program, but Adams is hoping that it will support free solar

receive if they are participating in this program include lower rates that are a half of a percent lower than what P,G&E is providing to start.

Unfortunately, the fish die off has continued with larger species such as bass, catfish, crappie, carp, and trout being impacted. Attached photos include a 3–4-pound bass. CDFW, WRA and EHB are working together to try to determi
