Are bottled water companies privatizing public water supplies?

Nestlé Waters North America does not privatize supplies. We use water like most businesses and our sources can either be municipal, where we are a customer, or permitted wells on private land.

 

Our water use, while very visible, is surprisingly small overall.  We use 0.001% of freshwater used in the U.S.  What makes us most unique, is that we leave much of the land we purchase undeveloped to promote water quality and provide a good habitat for plant and animal life.
