Ha! It's only a shock to those who believed it couldn't happen here. I live 8 miles up Highway One in Fort Bragg and many shallow wells all along the coast have been going dry earlier every years since at least 2013. I tried for years to no avail to convince the Fort Bragg City Council to mandate point of use hot water heaters at the main taps in every house, which would save hundreds of thousands of gallons of precious water every year. People always seem to ignore early warnings until it's too late to deal with.
