This is an industry that is an environmental disaster as it takes 2 litres of water to create the plastic bottle that another litre of water goes into. The 24/7 heavy trucks on the roads shipping water across the country emit and damage roads and bridges. Read more

The data are clear. Based on 20+ years of intensive monitoring, the water takings from the Aberfoyle well are sustainable and do not have detrimental effects on the environment. I support the continued operations, which offer employment to almost 200 employees.
