Up to 1.1 million litres per day of water removed from Hillsburgh Ontario well hauled by tank trucks to the Nestle Aberfoyle plant
Provincial water charge paid by Nestle for Hillsburgh water, up to $4.13 per day
Water travels by bulk tanker at any time, day or night, weekday or weekend: there are no known restrictions on times or frequency of travel
50 km one way route through the heart of the village of Rockwood and other rural communities
Up to 80 one-way truck trips per day
Emissions of avoidable noise and diesel pollution
Each truck can represent 10s of thousands of plastic bottles adding to the millions of bottles Nestle produces each day that are discarded after one use
All for the profit of the largest food and beverage company in the world.
Sound unbelievable when tap water in Ontario is the best in the world and is available to almost everyone? If we don’t use it we may lose it! Tell your MPP what you think and say no to bottled water. Stop privatization of our most precious resource.

Arlene. good article.
Now, can we estimate how much water in total NESTLEs takes from Canadian wells annually?
Another report said that NESTLEs takes 3.6 million litres per day from a nearby well, Wellington ? or was that supposed to be Hillsburgh.
that’s 800,000 gallons per day, or 7064 swimming pools per year. 6′ x 40′ x 160′.
1 m = 1,962 pools/year.
