Water in the fuel

It occurred to me today that in fifteen years of flying I have never
once found water in my fuel when I've drained my tanks. Not a drop.
Ever. Am I just lucky, or is this really as rare an occurrence as it
seems to be? (I fly in SoCal. Maybe that has something to do with it.)

I live in Georgia, and there are few places more humid. I've never found
water in my aircraft's tanks. My belief is that water in the fuel usually
comes from a contaminated source. Also from leaky caps. I don't believe
condensation is a major player.
