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. Even though some contend the technology’s costs may be too high at the moment to bring water to such remote areas, some families who have been living there said the panels are a lifesaver. 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.
