Excerpt
GWEN IFILL (Newshour): Now NewsHour science correspondent Miles O'Brien begins a two-part look at America's drinking water, and the regulatory system that is supposed to guarantee its safety.
His report is the result of a partnership with the Center for Public Integrity. It begins in the small desert town that made Erin Brockovich a household name.
ROBERTA WALKER, Resident of Hinkley, Calif.: Come on, you want some water? Want to get some water? Come on.
MILES O’BRIEN (Newshour): Clean water is something most of us take for granted, but not Roberta Walker. She, her dogs, and her family drink spring water that is either bottled or trucked in, because where she lives, people can't drink the well water.
Welcome to Hinkley, Calif.
