bottled water news

A new bill was introduced in California today that would force companies to disclose pertinent information to the public about bottled water, according to PlanetSave.

Assembly bill 201, sponsored by the nonprofit Food & Water Watch, would require that all bottling companies disclose to the public the quantity of water they extract, the source of the water, and whether the source is public or privately owned.

Given how desperate we are in California for water, and the fact that we are knee deep in a drought, it is very important to know where water is coming from, especially if it is a local resource.  I mean, would you want your water to go to serving the public, or would you want it going to a private company that is going to re-sell it for profit?
