Which entire counties get nothing when they turn on their faucets?

Quite a bit of the central valley. I attended a recent talk by the director of the CA water board, and she said this was her #1 priority... getting them water. The state is currently trucking in bottled water to these communities.

Some folks are pretty grumpy. Don't worry, it'll likely be fixed in a little while.

Visalia is the county seat of Tulare county. I cannot find any articles mentioning that people in Visalia get nothing when they turn on their faucets. Can you link me to a source?

Ah, you're concerned about 'entire'. Yes. As of 2014, it's just people without the means or skills to change their situation. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/03/us/california-drought-tula...
It's more accurate to say, municipal water authorities can no longer meet demand.

Indeed, we're running out of water. That means that we need to know not only how to reduce overall water consumption, but also to prioritize how that water is consumed. I reckon crops (even the less important non-staple ones) are more important than green lawns right now.
There are entire counties who get nothing when they turn on their faucets. Nothing. No more.
Not to mention the ground is sinking.
