In the case made famous by the film, Erin Brockovich, community members won a $333 million settlement from Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) in 1996. Hexavalent chromium leached from PG&E ponds into the town’s drinking water supply and community members experienced health effects, such as breast cancer, Hodgkin’s disease, miscarriages and spinal deterioration.
