What economic goals might come into conflicts if a factory polluted a local water supply?

Economic goals are usually designed to ensure the development and growth of a particular community. However, if the community's supply of water is polluted, these goals might not be realized, for several reasons. For example, people might not have a safe source of drinking water.
