PALM SPRINGS, Calif. – California water officials on Friday issued a draft order telling Nestlé to cease and desist taking much of the millions of gallons of water it pipes out of the San Bernardino National Forest to sell as Arrowhead brand bottled water.
The order, which must be approved by the California Water Resources Control Board, caps years of regulatory probes and a public outcry over the company’s water pipeline in the San Bernardino Mountains, where opponents argue that siphoning away water harms spring-fed Strawberry Creek and the wildlife that depends on it.
Nestlé’s use of water from the national forest 70 miles east of Los Angeles generated opposition and protests from area residents and a lawsuit by environmental groups
