Reply #110: Nestle wanted to open a bottled water plant in McCloud

As the crow flies, that's less than 45 miles upriver from here.

Yes, Shasta Lake and Iron Mountain Mine are between here and there, but I figure that the chemicals in the plastic bottles have to be FAR worse than any residual funk from the lake or the mine.

Why pay money to get virtually the same water that I can get for free?

Furthermore, did you know that bottled water is almost totally unregulated? If your tap water is dirty, it's somebody's job to clean it up, but dirty bottled water is not considered a problem.
