A few weeks ago, I reported on the challenges for farmworker families who have run out of water in rural Tulare County.
I profiled Maria Medina, who has been cooking, bathing and washing dishes from little plastic water bottles for the last year and a half since her household well went dry.
While some of her neighbors who own their homes have been able to get a portable water tank installed outside their houses, renters like the Medinas haven't been eligible for the program.
Now, the Tulare County Board of Supervisors has given the green light for the county Office of Emergency Services (OES) to provide water for renters, too.
