Mike Jones had been living at the same address in Springfield, California, for more than 30 years when he discovered that his water was emitting a strong odor. When he brought this observation to the attention of many of his neighbors, they complained of a similar odor. After some investigating, Mike discovered that a large corporation, the hypothetical Springfield Gas & Electric, had been dumping chromium 6, a possible carcinogen, into the water supply for decades.
