Michigan investigates Nestle Waters deal.
At the request of Gov. Jennifer Granholm, the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality is taking a close look at an arrangement between Evart, MI, in the Lansing area, and Nestle Waters North America Inc.
On March 28, the Evart City Council approved a 10-year water-purchase agreement company, which owns the Ice Mountain spring water bottling plant near Stanwood in Mecosta County.
Under the arrangement, Nestle Waters is to pump spring water from Evart's municipal water system to a nearby transfer station, where it would be pumped into tanker trucks for transport to the factory about 25 miles to the south,as reported in the Detroit Free Press and published by the Associated Press.
Last month, four environmental groups pressed the governor to consider the legalities and environmental ramifications of the deal.
Well another bit of proof that bottled, "spring water" actually is sourced from municipal water, that a consumer can get from their tap.
