Nelly Servin lives in California's Central Valley in a rural area just south of Fresno. She lives with her family in a home on a deeply rutted unimproved road across from a mature almond grove and surrounded by a few homes, some of which have burned down or are in need of repair. Her home is just a block or two outside of a proposed municipal water system. She has been without water since April 2014, filling barrels with water from friends' hoses - those who still have water - and using bottled water for drinking and cooking. When her well had water, it was tested and found positive for uranium, nitrate and coliform bacteria (feces). She lives in a home owned by her mother who was a farmworker. When her well went dry, her ill mother was moved from her home because there wasn't water to properly care for her. She returned in her final days to her home where she passed. The day we visited, Nelly received a 2600 gallon water tank from Self-Help Enterprises, and we witnessed her response when water flowed from her kitchen faucet for the the first time in a year and a half.
