Coalinga water: California city hit hard by drought crisis remains concerned over water supply despite wet winter
Despite California’s historic wet weather this year that brought relief to drought-stricken regions, one small city in the San Joaquin Valley continues to suffer. No place has suffered more from the state’s recent stretch of dry weather than Coalinga in Fresno County. … And pay they did - almost 10 times what the city would normally pay for its water. Coalinga gets its water from the San Luis Reservoir. At the drought’s height, the city’s allotment was cut by 80%.
