Though I don't know that area, Michigan has plenty of water resources.
What's not clear from the article is who was going to bear the expense of the new pumping station Nestle wanted. There's no mention of any benefit to that local government. It's not even clear there's a Nestle facility near that township that would see more jobs.
The only mention of cost to them is the cost of the application and renewals.
Surely it wouldn't be unreasonable for the township government to have their construction expenses covered, and possibly some ongoing investment into their water infrastructure from Nestle?
It seems that State and any local taxes (if there are any), by product produced and sold and employee wages, would be flowing into the coffers.
