“They should pull out of CA entirely.”
That’s what I say. I say the 29 petroleum companies being sued for causing climate change that resulted in the wild fires (according to the suit), should pull out too. No natural gas, no propane, no fuel stations, no petroleum products, no plastic for your Prius. I think the plaintiffs in the case should not use any petroleum products in filing their suit. You don’t want to contribute to another fire.
Ive read a dozen comments below. Are you saying that riparian water rights should not be enforced?
Kalifornia should just issue one warning and get it over with.
But that would take all the fun away from the bureaucrats.
Nestle needs to move and take all the jobs with them, out of California.
>If California is so drought-ridden, how can they have enough water to ship it away?
CA dumps half it’s water into the Ocean. The water system plans were supposed to continue building new dams and reservoirs through the 1990s but CA stopped all work on the system in the 1970s. If the system would have been completed there never would have been an issue with water a few years ago.
California is an amazing place only because some far-sighted men created a man-made system to make California inhabited. With the way things are going within 100 years, CA won’t be able to support more than a few million people again as the invaders take over the instrastuture and wreck what they don’t understand.
Nestle owns both of those brands, along with Ozarka, Spring Mountain, Zephyrhills, Perrier, Pelligrino and Pure Life.
Actually, I have not yet formed an opinion. I am also reading the comments to help with that.
Arrowhead water has been drawing from that spring since before the turn of the previous century. No complaints, no environmental effects and guess what? There’s still plenty of water there. This is just the state of California shaking down Nestle for more money.
Water rights are complex, but if you dont got me then you cant go in and bottle water for sale.
Bottled water May be one of the most abused food products. There is almost no attempt to prevent exposure to sunlight and heat on the retail end.
See that? Life imitates art!
Earlier this year the Osceola Township Board denied Nestle rights to build a pump station and pump 400 gallons/minute. Just this week a judge overrode the Osceola Board and allowed Nestle to go ahead with the new pump station.
I am a free market person but, personally knowing the area, I have concerns about the water table so I am not yet taking sides. Since people there use well water I hope they don’t go dry and have to pay the dollars necessary to drill deeper. A good portion of the people up there are poor.
Radiation from Fukushima?
So, they're undocumented? CA said that there is nothing wrong with that.
Lots of good water in Wisconsin.
“There is almost no attempt to prevent exposure to sunlight and heat on the retail end.”
And the effect of heat on the plastic bottle and what it might be “adding” to the water contained therein.
Take a look at this:

This sounds like the work of greentards.
Arrowhead is my favorite bottled water. It has a unique taste, and I really like it. I won’t buy any other bottled water.
Got to hand it to California’s bozo leadership, they can run companies off faster than any other state I know of.
