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.
