VISALIA, Calif. (KFSN) -- Well drillers in Tulare County are working around the clock and city officials are seeing record-breaking numbers.
While Tulare County officials aren't surprised by how many permits they've issued to well drillers -- they say the numbers show just how dire of a situation we're in. In just the last two weeks, the county has approved more than 100 permits for well drilling.
Officials think the number could even double last years by the end of 2014.
