A township planning commission in northern Michigan on Tuesday denied a bottled water company’s request to build a new pumping station needed to withdraw more underground water.
Michigan township panel rejects Nestle pump permit
Currently, Nestle can withdraw 250 gallons of Michigan's water per minute. Their request would have given Nestle permission to withdraw 400 gallons per minute... all for the sake of profits. Meanwhile, Flint's residents are still struggling thanks to their poisoned water. I applaud the people of Osceola Township for standing up against this proposal.
I applaud the people of Michigan for respecting their own water resources. Unlike people in Texas who were throwing their water away to fracking interests.A township planning commission in northern Michigan on Tuesday denied a bottled water company’s request to build a new pumping station needed to withdraw more underground water.

Flints bad pipes and failure to treat their water properly has nothing to do with Nestle.
I never said Nestle is to blame for the poor decisions made by Michigan's politicians. However, it does not seem right for a state to give away its most important resource for corporate profit while some of its own people cannot even access clean water from their faucets.

What's wrong with profit?
it's not Nestle's water :roll:
More water for the greedy corporate farmers.
I can see the point.
Nobody said it was. But again:
What's wrong with profit?
Not off my drinking water you don't.
Michigan gets a lot of rain. They also have over 21,000 inland lakes and border on 4 of the Great ones. No need to irrigate with expensive ground water.
Where does that ground water come from?
And yes, Michigan farmers and corporate farmers do use underground water to irrigate
There's water everywhere in Michigan - but for many it's not enough, or suitable | MLive.com

Thank God some good news. My faith in people is waning. Nestle is one of the most evil companies to ever avoid filing their taxes. They should not be allowed to get their way. Seems like no matter the issue, "more money is always better", even if it means people have crappier lives or die, because money always wins in this god forsaken world.
Glad to hear some good news.
When the rights are leased/sold to them what they draw certainly does, as well as the profit made.it's not Nestle's water :roll:
I know that I can't hardly walk anywhere in this country without stepping on the bodies of people eliminated by Nestle selling bottled water
:roll:
