California Village is Without Running Water During Heat Wave
A Central California village where the temperature is expected to reach 105 degrees Fahrenheit June 30 is dry out of running water as the state drought continues.
The crisis began in Teviston when a well the Tulare County region’s only water source malfunctioned June 9, leaving its 600 residents without running water. It has yet to be repaired.
“The well failure in Teviston illustrates the difficulties facing single-source water systems during drought,” State Water Resources Control Board spokesperson Jackie Carpenter told The Epoch Times June 29.
“Following an urgent request from the county, the state repurposed resources and supplies to address the situation through funding the community’s installation of a submersible pump in a previously abandoned well and arranging for both bottled and hauled water to be delivered.”
