More than 600 water systems in California in all but three counties were classified as being at risk, according to a recent report.
Water systems located in nearly every single California county are at risk of failing, according to a map created by Newsweek using data from the California State Water Resources Control Board.
The only counties without an at-risk water system were Lassen, Modoc and San Francisco.The report found that 61 percent of the state's 3,055 public water systems were not at risk of failing. The report also said that 98 percent of California residents receive water from systems that meet or exceed expectations.However, others performed poorly, particularly small systems in rural areas.
