Someone should tell the government of California that they can revoke the
landwater use licenses that allow this resource extractionEdit: it’s fairly common to use “land use” and “water use” interchangeably, but water usage rights are very complex in this area of the country so shouldn’t be confused in this situation
Someone should tell you they are taking the water from US Govt land, for which the state of California does not issue land use licenses.
The cease and desist was issued by California, not the federal government. Water rights in that area of the country is very complicated, but essentially falls onto individual states to handle water disputes (unless it’s between states). This is part of the drama involved with the federal government telling states in the southwest to figure out their water usage, or the federal government will
I’m aware, I was responding to the “land use license” that California supposedly could revoke (they can’t), not the water rights.
Fair enough, I shouldn’t be using those terms interchangeably
Will they fine them $10 when they don’t stop?
Jesus dude, talk about an excessive fine. It will be around $5
After litigation, it’ll be 2 bucks, no admission of wrong doing and CA pays nestle’s legal fees.
I predict 12 Rubles.
They can fine $500 per day and $2500 per acre-foot of water. There’s legislation in state congress to increases that amount to $10,000 per day.
About time. Nestle is one of the most evil food companies in the world, and that’s saying something with the amount of scummy shit going on out there.
Sounds like there is no option to pay for the water instead. Let’s be real though, only reason the company was still there because it was free.
Nestle will probably just bottle Arrowhead with municipal water somewhere next to an interstate now.
can we just destroy nestle please
Arrowhead is so fucking nasty, they should just ditch the line altogether. Definitely the worst tasting water I’ve had across the US.
Have you tried zepherhills?
I hear penicillin clears that up
Nestle owns Arrowhead? Huh. It’s only by coincidence I just happen to think arrowhead is the most disgusting tasting bottled water ever produced so was already avoiding it, but that’s good to know.
CA Water Board
Heh
