Living in Raisin City, CA: what to set up and who to call

Raisin City has no town government of its own, so Fresno County runs its elections and most services, and its children attend Raisin City Elementary School District. Tap water in Raisin City comes from the Fcsa 43 - Raisin City water system, which has a clean five-year EPA record (about 23% of systems its size had a health-based violation) and a latest lead result below detection.

Raisin City has no town government. It’s a census-designated place in Fresno County, so the county and regional agencies provide most services. This page answers what we can; the same answers appear on Raisin City’s town page under “Getting set up”.
