To: Nestlé & Nestlé Waters North America

We stand with communities across North America fighting for local control over local water. Five of your North American bottling operations in particular have generated a groundswell of opposition from their surrounding communities as a result of your legacy of broken promises, ecological harm, and removal of a life-giving public resource. We join these communities in urging Nestlé to revert the rights of the following water sources back to public control prior to any sale of your bottled water brands:

  • Arrowhead Complex, San Bernardino National Forest, California (Arrowhead brand)
  • White Pine Springs, Evart, Michigan (Ice Mountain brand)
  • Nestlé Waters Canada Aberfoyle Complex, Wellington County, Ontario, Canada (Pure Life brand)
  • Ruby Mountain Springs, Chaffee County, Colorado (Arrowhead brand)
  • Ginnie Springs, High Springs, Florida (Zephyrhills brand)

    Subject: Nestlé's Troubled Waters – end the extraction!
    Hey there,

    I wanted to share this petition calling on Nestlé to return control over five of their most controversial water sources back to local communities.

    For decades, Nestlé Waters has bought up access to public water across North America, turning a life-giving public resource into a private commodity and leaving a trail of broken promises, ecological damage, and depleted water supplies in its wake.

    Now, with its recent announcement the company intends to sell its regional bulk water division, Nestlé is looking to turn one last profit at the public’s expense.

    But in the context of a global pandemic, increasing droughts and wildfires across North America, and a worsening plastic crisis, it’s more clear than ever that water should be controlled by the people, not private corporations. That’s why groups are demanding that Nestlé return five of its most controversial water sources back to public control prior to any sale.

    I just added my name to this petition to Nestlé – will you do the same?
