We should not be selling off any of our water to any corporation, anywhere or anytime. It is probably our most important resource. Absolutely vital. Any maybe all that plastic that nestle and other corporations use to sell our water in isn’t any good either? Beth

Corporations that bottle water care especially for THEIR shareholders' profits and NOT the protection and sustainability of OUR environment. It's up to US people and our elected representative officials to be responsible and prudent. Read more

Hello, Water is a need for humans and life. To commodify water is a danger to the public safety and future access to clean water. As the government it is your job to protect water for your citizens I support the moratorium on new water permits. Read more

As a new resident to Wellington County, I am extremely concerned that Nestlé has been allowed to take millions and millions of litres of water from our watershed unabated. At the very least, we need to halt this until thorough studies have been completed and I believe it should be stopped. Read more

Ground water should be preserved primarily for local public drinking water. Agricultural use should be the second priority. Use by local industry should be the third priority. Recreational use should be the fourth priority. Industrial bottling of ground water should not be permitted. Read more

Clean, safe drinking water is necessary to our survival, and may well be in short supply in the future. Selling it at bargain basement prices to multi-million dollar corporations like Nestle, who then sell it for profit as bottled water, is not in the public interest.

In my opinion, water taking from wells or municiple water sources for resale should be illegal. Why are we allowing multi-national companies to enrich themselves and their shareholders by taking our groundwater at rediculously low rates? No further applications should be allowed in perpetuity.

Water is a natural resource, not a tradable good. The plastic pollution that comes from bottling companies is adding significantly to our already huge plastic problem. There is no need for plastic bottles. Please stop bottling our precious water. Water is for people not for profits!

It is very important that fresh water be shared. It is here for all living things. Humans have an obligation to preserve this precious resource not selling it off to capitalists who don't really understand it's true importance to a sustainable future for all. Read more
