Among the most pervasive contaminants are arsenic, nitrate and a chemical called 1,2,3-trichloropropane, or 1,2,3-TCP. Combined, elevated levels of these chemicals contaminate more than 220 failing systems serving nearly half a million people.
Unsafe drinking water is a chronic, insidious and sometimes hidden problem in a state where attention is more often focused on shortages than the quality of the water. The failing systems are clustered in rural farm areas that have experienced decades of groundwater contamination. Many residents are afraid to drink tap water or even bathe their children in it, relying on bottled water instead.

“It is morally outrageous that we can’t provide the level of basic human rights that people need and that it’s primarily low-income communities of color who are facing these disparate impacts,” said Kyle Jones, policy and legal director with the Community Water Center, a nonprofit group. “While the state’s made a lot of good progress … more needs to be done.”
But despite all the systems that have been removed from the state’s failing list, about 600 others serving 1.6 million people are at risk of failure, and more than 400 others serving another 1.6 million are deemed “potentially at risk.”
“We have continuing degradation of groundwater from all our human activities — farming, industry, drought itself with our climate change,” said Darrin Polhemus, deputy director of the State Water Resources Control Board and head of its Division of Drinking Water. “We’re seeing the dawn of a new age where treatment is required on almost all our groundwater sources, and these small communities are not prepared for what that means.”
Ensuring safe and reliable drinking water for all Californians will cost about $16 billion, according to a recent state analysis. However, the state water board projects that it has only $2 billion available for grants in communities and $1.5 billion for loans.
Suppliers that violate drinking water standards are required to notify residents and reduce their exposure, often by treating or blending water supplies. State regulators are pushing for long-term fixes, like consolidating some smaller suppliers with bigger systems nearby.
The state auditor lambasted California water officials two years ago for “a lack of urgency,” pointing to lengthy funding timelines and other problems. But infrastructure takes time and advanced planning, which is a struggle for smaller water systems, state officials say.
Some water providers, such as in the town of Lamont in Kern County, are poised to fix their water problems with millions of dollars in state funding. Other, smaller communities, like Allensworth in Tulare County and San Lucas on the Central Coast, have been waiting for clean water for years.
Meanwhile, rural residents are left to weigh the risks flowing through their taps for themselves.
“It scares me. All of it scares me,” Jefferson said. “And then no one thinks about it. Here, we’re in a rural community, and people have a tendency to overlook us.”
In this small town, pesticide residue is the culprit
In the San Joaquin Valley community of Pixley, home to about 3,800 people, the jobs are rooted in agriculture — and so are the water problems.
Widespread use of soil fumigants starting in the 1950s contaminated Central Valley groundwater with 1,2,3-TCP, which is an impurity in those fumigants and is also used as an industrial solvent. Though the fumigants were pulled from the market or reformulated in California by the 1990s, elevated levels continue to taint the water in wells throughout the San Joaquin Valley.
Christina Velazquez, who has lived in Pixley for 44 years and had her own brush with cancer, estimates that she spends at least $30 per month to buy filters and water bottles on top of her water and sewer bill.

“That’s what I make my grandkids drink — I won’t let them drink the water from the faucet,” Velasquez said. “We shouldn’t have to buy water when we’re already paying for it.”

Pixley received $11.5 million from pesticide manufacturers in 2021 to settle a lawsuit about the contamination, according to attorney Chad Lew, counsel for the Pixley Public Utility District.
But David Terrel, a teacher and vice president of the district’s board, said there still isn’t enough funding to fix the contamination problem. “If we could handle it on our own, we would be doing that,” he said.
Pixley is holding out hope for a construction grant from the state. The district has received about $750,000 for planning and technical assistance, as well as for installing filtered-water vending machines, according to a state database.
“We’re still pretty broken when it comes to corporate responsibility for wide-scale pollution,” Polhemus said. The money will “last for a decade or two, but what about the third and fourth and fifth decade, when they’re still dealing with that contaminant?”
In Lamont, about an hour south of Pixley near Bakersfield, the failure of one well forced more than 18,200 people to rely more heavily on a well contaminated with elevated levels of 1,2,3-TCP.
Lamont Public Utility District General Manager Scott Taylor said a fix is already in the works, thanks to a new well built with state funds. Another $25.4 million grant from the water board will help Lamont install three new wells to provide water to Lamont and a smaller arsenic-plagued system nearby.
“Without the state help, what would we have done? Honestly, I don’t have a clue. And I’m glad I don’t have to find out,” Taylor said. “We don’t have $30 million laying around.”
In Allensworth, arsenic is a decadeslong problem
Just 20 minutes away from Pixley, in Allensworth, Sherry Hunter keeps catching herself running the tap to brush her teeth.

The Allensworth Community Services District, where Hunter serves as president, has tried to reduce the contamination by blending in water from a less tainted well.
But in July, both wells failed because of suspected electrical issues, according to the nonprofit Self-Help Enterprises. Though the more contaminated well was brought back online, it, too, began sputtering out in August — leaving residents with either arsenic-contaminated water or no water at all.
Farmworkers living in Allensworth found themselves unable to shower after long days in the heat, Hunter said. “It’s a horrible feeling … We don’t have rich people that live in Allensworth.”

By the end of August, Allensworth had qualified for emergency state water board funding through Self-Help Enterprises to repair the wells and investigate the source of the electrical issues.
Hunter said she’s excited to know that help is on the way, but she’s frustrated with how long it’s taking to bring reliably clean water to her community.
“It wouldn’t have happened in none of the other little cities around here,” Hunter said. “People of color are always put on the back burner. Latinos and Blacks, we’re always sitting on the back of the bus.”
Nitrate spikes in a Monterey County town’s wells
Two hours toward the coast, in the agricultural Monterey County community of San Lucas, Virginia Sandoval mixes formula with bottled water for her 2-month-old twin granddaughters. She’s afraid to even bathe the babies, born prematurely, in the tap water.
San Lucas’ water system is designated as failing because of nitrate levels that wax and wane, according to Andrew Altevogt, an assistant deputy director of the State Water Board’s Division of Drinking Water.
“Nitrate’s an acute contaminant, so if it does happen, it’s an immediate concern,” Altevogt said.
The water system has also been plagued with other contaminants that affect taste, odor and color.
For years, residents have relied on bottled water mandated by regional regulators and provided by the farmer where the well is located.
The supplies often don’t last the week for Sandoval. She regularly drives the 20-mile round trip to King City to purchase more bottles — a cost of more than $20 per week, she estimates, on top of her monthly water bill.
“It’s very stressful to be thinking every morning … ‘Do I have water or do I not have water?’ What am I going to do?’” Sandoval said in Spanish. “I even had to look for coins, pennies, so that I can go pick up water.”
Three years ago, regional water regulators issued an order setting limits on the amount of fertilizer applied to crops. But two years later, state officials overturned them, saying that an expert panel needed to evaluate whether there was enough data to support the restrictions, according to a statement from the state water board.
“You really can’t grow a lot of these crops without fertilizer,” said Norm Groot, executive director of the Monterey County Farm Bureau. “We can’t artificially reduce that overnight and continue to produce the food items that are important to our nation’s dinner tables.”
The groups say the state board’s rollback of the fertilizer limits “disproportionately harmed Latinx communities and other communities of color,” which are 4.4 times more likely to have groundwater contamination above the state limits.
“We sit here today counting years. It’s mind-blowing,” Monterey County Supervisor Chris Lopez said. “I feel like we’ve failed (residents) as a society so much, without being able to give them the clean drinking water that they deserve.”
