Demand that Water Bottlers Reveal How Much of Our Water They’re Using

Astute Californians have just sent a bill to the governor’ desk and I’m really hoping he signs it. If passed, this legislation would force water bottlers to reveal exactly how much of our water they are taking. This is commonsense legislation for a state with huge water problems — after all, how can we begin to properly manage our water resources if we don’t know how much industry is taking (this goes for implementing water meters in homes, too, but that’s another issue)?

Some water bottlers are are taking their water directly from our municipal water supply and others are drawing from springs on private land that can also impact local water sources and wells. Join Food and Water Watch in telling Schwarzenegger to pass this legislation to help hold water bottlers accountable.
