With a public water system that is approximately 100 years old, she and her neighbors lived with water barely flowing from their faucets and what did flow was contaminated. The private system was taken over by the county and a new well dug in 2014 that provides greater water pressure, but is only temporary. The system of pipes is still old, rusty and crumbling. The repairs are not comprehensive, the water is intermittent and currently unsafe to drink without boiling. It is especially hard on Delia to properly care for her ailing mother without water. She even says warning them ahead of time when the water is going to be turned off would be helpful. The residents are also being charged a flat monthly fee of $60 for their water, regardless if it is running or clean. Many poor residents are months if not years behind, putting their homes in danger of seizure. Currently the communities in the area are trying to consolidate to drill a new well to provide safe drinking water. The cost of a new well is 1.5 million dollars, but overhauling the entire system will be several million. Ryan Jensen, from the Visalia Community Water Center, explains the the problem with Seville's water system. Poor, disadvantaged communities do not have ongoing, sustainable funding to bring safe drinking water to the families, and they are overlooked in the State budgeting process. With the help of the Community Water Center, the town of Seville is trying to consolidate with six other local communities to bring safe drinking water to everyone in those communities. http://rundry.org/storiesofwaterloss daily 0.75 2016-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1463364691287-V2QSBK82Q9RIKX3UVSPF/5.jpg Stories of Water Loss https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1463505791038-L8DI4BH41RMC78K0WBOR/CentralValley-SanLuisFD-UAVSAR14511-AvenalHotSpot.jpg Stories of Water Loss https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1463506104618-85NWQS8B5E2XO6C0E4M4/20150819_021242_SJM-LANDDROP-0820-90-01_500.jpg Stories of Water Loss https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1463506109020-WE3X1LT223P206A1Q8X6/california-drought-usgs-land-subsistence-graph.jpg Stories of Water Loss http://rundry.org/new-index-1 daily 0.75 2016-05-17 http://rundry.org/connecting-tulare daily 0.75 2018-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1522735693589-T2N1VRFE9LYQGEJMV0JB/Water+Testing_edited.jpg Water Tainted https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1521621100192-H37FHA0WGZXL9F13HVSR/Bottle+of+contaminated+water+copy.png Water Tainted https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1522733207854-U0BTDNO2OTJEK8I9WSLK/Screen+Shot+2016-11-03+at+10.55.45+PM.png Water Tainted Manure from large confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs) seep into the ground contaminating the water with nitrates making it unsafe to drink. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1521621364246-5B91EFT45BTGBI1GLF2A/Cafos+in+Tulare.png Water Tainted Confined Animal Feeding Operations (CAFO) in the San Joaquin Valley. http://rundry.org/new-gallery-4 daily 0.75 2016-10-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1477698808172-8ZOQNXPVGMBZPT9OABR3/cameron+creek+wate+table+over+time.png Drought Data https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1471466989877-AE5ZCYBIJIEIS8Y2W8AC/aquifer-drought-maps.jpg Drought Data - California Aquifer Drought 2011-2013 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1477698591286-3UN5L0NKGHBIIVTY0VLY/cameron+creek+wate+table+over+time.png Drought Data - Cameron Creek Depth to Water Table 2011-2016 http://rundry.org/new-gallery-1 daily 0.75 2026-04-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1776783122915-8NS5TA0G0CWBCPH30IVK/image-asset.jpeg Mary Shaffer - Mary Shaffer, This Happens to Real People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1776783122915-8NS5TA0G0CWBCPH30IVK/image-asset.jpeg Mary Shaffer - Mary Shaffer, This Happens to Real People https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1776783122583-48R4CVA3LYR1NULC1NO8/image-asset.octet-stream Mary Shaffer https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57364ae259827e68704c2776/573b5b6a04426277b8c40b21/69e78d4d9d5f1d3be3b4ca9a/1776783439654/ Mary Shaffer https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1776783412865-S419XOKW12WGHQDGIPLX/image-asset.jpeg Mary Shaffer - Mary Shaffer, This Happens to Real People https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57364ae259827e68704c2776/573b5b6a04426277b8c40b21/579fb58ad2b85793703c2a4a/1776783439665/ Mary Shaffer http://rundry.org/new-gallery-3 daily 0.75 2016-08-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1470152491825-V28PQARO39JN4ASJU2G6/image-asset.jpeg Nelly Servin - Nelly Servin, Central Valley Drought https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1470152491825-V28PQARO39JN4ASJU2G6/image-asset.jpeg Nelly Servin - Nelly Servin, Central Valley Drought https://static1.squarespace.com/static/57364ae259827e68704c2776/573b5b7b04426277b8c40bc3/57a0bf2b3045442de0550158/1470152491381/ Nelly Servin http://rundry.org/new-gallery-2 daily 0.75 2016-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/57364ae259827e68704c2776/1470151291428-L7ASE6Q0GGJKZPNPUALB/image-asset.jpeg Cristobol Chavez - Cristobol Chavez Cristobol Chavez lives on a small ranch in Porterville, CA in the San Joaquin Valley. He moved his family from Los Angeles so that they could be self-sufficient on their ranch, growing their own vegetables, raising cattle and goats. His well is contaminated with nitrates from the neighboring dairy farm, and the family cannot bathe, cook or clean with the water.
