As of 2007, more than 11.5 million Californians relied on water suppliers that faced at least one violation of our State Drinking Water Standards. As our infrastructure ages, the costs of contaminated water to our economy and our public health continually increase. AB 685 (Eng), one part of a larger Human Right to Water package (which includes several bills signed into law in 2011), establishes in statute the state policy that all residents of the state have a right to clean, affordable, and accessible water for human consumption. The bill asks state agencies to integrate the policy as they implement or amend programs.
