Drought Stricken Town Of East Porterville Deals With Severe Water Shortage

EAST PORTERVILLE, CA - FEBRUARY 11: A man who says his well went dry two-and-a-half years ago, shortly after buying his house, fills a tank with non-potable water as wells for hundreds of residents remain dry in the fourth year of worsening drought on February 11, 2015 in East Porterville, California. Many locals fill their tanks with free non-potable water for flushing toilets, bathing and laundering and use bottled water for drinking and washing dishes. Many of the dry wells of 926 homes in Tulare County dried up last summer when some 17 California communities ran out of water. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
