Their permit to extract water expired 27 YEARS AGO, but the corporation just kept on going... lets do the math: how many 100's of 1000s gallons of water is that... could be billions.

Fantastic News: Nestlé To Be Sued For Californian Drought Crimes
16th October 2015

Campaign group The Story Of Stuff Project have just announced they will be pursuing legal action against Nestlé for illegally extracting groundwater in California for its Arrowhead brand, which has been a key contributor to the State’s drought crisis.

Thanks to generous donations from a huge number of furious citizens, The Story Of Stuff Project was able to raise enough money to film a mini-documentary called ‘This land is our land’. It tells the story of Nestlé’s removal of millions of gallons of water from the San Bernardino National Forest- and it details evidence of criminal activity by one of the world’s most unethical corporations.......................

The Story Of Stuff Project reports:

“While filming in southern California our team uncovered hard evidence that Nestlé has been operating outside the bounds of the law. When Nestlé’s permit to remove water expired 27 years ago, the U.S. Forest Service should have turned off the spigot. But instead, it has allowed Nestlé to continue operating unabated, in violation of the terms of its own permit.

It's a corporation, limited liability, no one will serve in time in jail or prison, fine of 'several million' = chump change, then bidness as usual until next time.

It all boils down to political critters that are bought and payed for that are in big business pockets!

I wonder who owns the well head? If Nestle owns the well then who cares? Each small community up here has 5000 to 10000 residents and the respective water districts own up to 400 wells they pull from. The water districts are very greedy and shut anyone with water rights down in court.
