Public Health Survey Finds Impacts From Drought

One of the main things health officials have taken from a survey of approximately 400 households in the Culter-Orosi area and East Porterville is some residents may be risking their health because of cutting back on water use.

The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) conducted a Community Assessment for Public Health Emergency Response (CASPER) survey in October and released the findings last week. The survey was a collaborative effort between local public health, CDPH, and numerous local agencies and organizations.
