King City Community Power (KCCP) to Issue Rebate Gift Cards to Residential Customers

The majority of King City Community Power (KCCP) residential customers will receive a gift card from KCCP sometime during the week of May 19. As a community operated power provider, KCCP is able to dedicate excess revenues to the community through projects addressing community needs, lower rates, or rebates. In the absence of KCCP, these revenues would become corporate profits for the utility company. This year, the City Council voted to dedicate over 75% of the available excess revenues in rebates to customers in the form of a one-time gift card.

The criteria for receiving a rebate are based on timely payments, minimum usage and type of account. As a result, customers may receive higher or lower gift card amounts, or some may not receive a gift card if they do not meet the minimum criteria.

The card value expires on the date noted on the card. Therefore, customers are encouraged to activate the card as soon as possible to enjoy the benefits. It is also important to write down the card number because the cards cannot be replaced if damaged, lost or stolen without it. The card can be used just like any VISA card for purchases including gas (except pay at the pump), groceries, entertainment and other expenses. The rebates were approved by the City Council to express their sincere appreciation for being a KCCP customer.

Some of the other community benefits KCCP has provided in the past include reduced rates, new solar street and park lights, roof top solar programs, and sustainable, renewable energy supplies. This year, remaining excess revenues will be used to help construct electric vehicle charging stations.

Customers who have opted out of KCCP in the past and would like to reconsider can do so by simply contacting 833-888-KING (5464). Customers may also contact this number with questions about the gift card or other KCCP information.

Lake San Antonio Closed Due to Large Scale Fish Die Off; Number of Fish Impacted is Increasing and Reason for Die Off Remains Unknown

July 9, 2024- Out of abundance of caution for public health, County of Monterey Parks is closing the Lake San Antonio facility due to a large-scale fish die off from an unknown cause. On July 5, 2024, Parks staff noticed that dead baitfish, mostly shad, began washing up on the shore around Lake San Antonio and immediately contacted California Department of Fish and Wildlife (CDFW) to report the situation. At that time, the CDFW fisheries biologist stated the fish die off was most likely due to the high temperatures and low dissolved oxygen level in the water and that the situation most likely did not present a risk to the public. Parks staff also contacted the Water Resources Agency (WRA), State Water Resources Control Board and Environmental Health Bureau. 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 t...
