Keep a Nestlé Water Bottling Plant Out of the Columbia River Gorge

DOWNLOAD PDF VIEW ON SCRIBD

Multinational water bottling companies have created a market that capitalizes on the false premise that bottled water is somehow better and purer than tap water. This misconception is largely the result of crafty marketing tactics, despite the fact that the U.S. federal government requires more rigorous safety monitoring of municipal tap water than it does of bottled water.

Now, Nestlé Waters is determined to build and operate a water bottling plant in the Columbia River Gorge town of Cascade Locks, seeking to bottle and sell essential spring water resources for its Arrowhead brand, as well as municipal water for its Pure Life brand.
