BOTTLED WATER STRIKES AGAIN

Yesterday's K-W Record indicates that Nestle Waters Canada is on track to continue making money at the expense of the general public and the environment. Nestle is currently allowed to pump 2,500 litres of water every minute. And make money from it. It being OUR water, not their private stock. Members of the Wellington Water Watchers are awaiting results of low flow tests to determine if there is an unacceptable reduction in the water table and or surface water (Mill Creek) due to this pumping during dry conditions. I can understand people losing faith in tap water due to politicians unwillingness to force business to either avoid polluting or to clean up properly afterwards. But when business and industry then further profit from their pollution by creating a market for bottled (solvent free) water is dispicable.
