Drinking Water & Sanitation
Pueblo Unido CDC Pioneered Point-of-Use/Point-of-Entry Water Filtration in the Eastern Coachella Valley.
California was the first state to pass a law recognizing the universal right to clean, safe, affordable drinking water—the Human Right to Water Law—adopted in 2012.
But residents of the Eastern Coachella Valley mainly rely on well water, and the law did not help them.
Their drinking water was contaminated with high levels of naturally-occurring arsenic in the wells they rely on due to lack of access to municipal water service.
