HINKLEY, Calif. — (HINKLEY, Calif.) -- Nearly 30 years after a California desert town successfully sued a utility company over contaminated water, an emerging piece of technology is being installed to bring some relief.
An engineering firm has set up hydropanels in Hinkley, California, which create clean water using a system that draws in moisture, air and the sun.
Roberta Walker, a Hinkley resident who worked with Erin Brockovich in her lawsuit against Pacific Gas and Electric for contaminating the water, told ABC News Live that the community - comprised of about 300 people - is still reeling from the chromium 6 that's in the ground. "You can quite literally put these on the ground, point them towards the sun, and make your own drinking water," he said.
"If you are in an area where you have no water whatsoever… the question is why? Why would you want to actually develop residential [properties]?" he asked.
