Nestle told to stop spring water diversions in San Bernardino Forest
California’s Water Resources Control Board on Friday asked Nestle (NESN.S) to stop unauthorized natural spring water diversions in the San Bernardino Forest after a probe revealed multiple violations and depletion of resources.
The action comes as the state ramps up efforts to preserve water resources amid worsening drought conditions.
The order is in response to several water rights complaints and an online petition against Nestle Waters North America starting in 2015, which led to drinking water supply shortages and impacted environmental resources.
