Introduction to California Proposal 65

California Proposal No. 65, the "Drinking Water Safety and Toxic Substance Enforcement Act of 1986," was issued in November 1986. Its purpose is to protect California residents and the state’s drinking water sources so that the water sources do not contain known Cancer, birth defects or other substances that are harmful to reproduction and development, and inform residents truthfully when such substances appear.
