BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK\/KBFX) \u2014 An environmental cleanup is underway in Bakersfield after 1,000 barrels of produced water spilled at a treatment center on Thursday near Zerker Road and Seventh Standard Road.<\/p>\n
Produced water is a byproduct that comes out of the ground during oil and gas extraction. The spill was reported to the California Governor\u2019s Office of Emergency Services by someone with E&B Natural Resources, who reported that no crude oil was mixed with the water.<\/p>\n
The spill is believed to have been caused by corrosion of a storage tank. A vacuum truck was called in to help with the cleanup.<\/p>\n
