She emphasized that the fight for clean water is a long-term effort that requires patience, persistence, and collaboration among community members and authorities.
Brockovich also encouraged residents to get their water tested and to join forces with other communities impacted by environmental issues to amplify their voices and increase their chances of success. She acknowledged the challenges that residents face in the fight for clean water but expressed hope that together, they can achieve a safer and healthier environment for themselves and future generations.
