Infrastructure
In August 2014 during 2012–14 North American drought, East Porterville was experiencing "Exceptional" drought conditions, as was the entirety of Tulare County. The Fresno Bee reported that close to 1000 homes were without water due to a declining water table and dependence on shallow wells. Although scores of people had been calling public agencies such as the county, the next-door city of Porterville, and the local water district to report dry wells, authorities have not realized the extent of the problem since the agencies did not track private wells.
