A Brief History of Nestle’s Water Battles in Michigan
Filed under: Bottled Water,Great Lakes History,Michigan,Water Diversion — nemo @ 10:32 pm
Notes from a presentation by Tony Clarke, Director, Polaris Institute, Canada.
In North America, bottled water companies like Nestlé Waters have been able to secure control over underground aquifers and streams by taking advantage of an archaic patch work of regulatory regimes. One of these is called the “rule of capture.” According this law, “ground water is the private property of the owner of the overlying land” and they “have the right to capture the ground water beneath their land.” It is also known as the ‘law of the biggest pump’ because the landowner with the largest pumping capacity “can dry up the adjoining landowner’s well.”
In Michigan, the initial battle lines were drawn around the zoning changes that were required in Mecosta County, and neighboring Osceola County, to allow Nestlé’s to build its water bottling operation. In June and August 2001, referendums were held in both Mecosta and Osceola counties, and rezoning was rejected by a 2-to-1 margin.
In October 2002, a judge ruled that while Nestlé had the right to pump water on a ‘reasonable use’ basis, the company’s water withdrawal has harmed, or is likely to harm, the community residents and the environment.
Nestle appealed this decision and, in November 2003, the Michigan Circuit Court upheld the lower court and “…ordered the company that produces Ice Mountain bottled water to halt all water withdrawals in Mecosta County.” But, in December 2003, Nestlé won an emergency reprieve to continue pumping spring water until its appeal of the circuit court ruling has been heard and decided.

by CoalMiningAppalachia-
Water Privatization outrages me! It absolutely outrages me! People are dying all over the world because they cannot afford water, and big companies are going in taking these people's water.
President George W. Bush bought 98,440 acres of land in Paraguay. His father already owned 173,000 acres. They bought this for the water and the natural gas reserves.

Water will be worth more than oil. It's water corruption!
Water Privatization has been going on for a very long time in France, since the time of Napoleon. In 2009 water returned to the people.
yikes left off the end..sorryIn 1982 Margaret Thatcher privatized all of the water in Great Britain. It was at this time that large companies decided they wanted to go global with Water Privatization. They saw green, and not the environmental kind.
