Bottled water is a huge driver of plastic waste, this permit should be denied in order to limit the supply of bottled water and drive up it's price. Consumer reliance on cheap bottle water will not stop unless the price is significantly increased. Read more

I am NOT in support of giving a permit to take water. Water is one of, if not the, most precious resources we have. It will become more and more precious as time goes on and water scarcity starts to affect even us here, surrounded by the Great Lakes. Read more

Centre Wellington could lose 1.6 million litres of ground water every day, about the amount used in all of the village of Elora daily. Save Our Water wants a secure, long term supply of water for the community and for the ecosystem for generations to come. Read more

While many First Nations communities and other Ontario municipalities do not have access to safe drinking water for at least a year, BlueTriton is pumping clean water from Indigenous lands and municipal wells and bottling it for profit. BlueTriton is ignoring Indigenous sovereignty. Read more
