Eldred Township is not the only place where people are protesting a proposed Nestlé bottled water extraction project. If approved, the beverage company would withdrawal some of 200,000 gallons of water per day at the site in Monroe County.

More than 280,000 members of the California-based Courage Campaign Institute, The Story of Stuff Project, Food and Water Watch, Care2, CREDO, SumOfUs and the Daily Kos have submitted comments to the U.S. Forest Service requesting the Forest Service not approve Nestlé’s new permit for water bottling in the San Bernardino National Forest, a press release from the groups said.
