we need a county ballot measure to ban commercial water bottling in the county. We can stop BTB/Nestle from building a bottling plant and trucking away our precious mountain water resource.
we need the State governor to direct the Department of Fish and Wildlife to stop an exchange of water rights to prevent water bottling operations.

Nestle is taking 62 million gallons of water per year from San Bernardino National Forest, despite evidence that its operations are draining Strawberry creek, a spring-fed creek. The Forest Service issues Nestle new water permit in California. The permit allows extraction and there is no fee for the water.
Nestle is the world's largest water-bottling company, earned $8.3 billion in profits from its water business in 2016. List of Nestle brands of water: Arrowhead, Calistoga, Deer Park, Ice Mountain, Perrier, Poland Spring, San Pellegrino.
