State dismisses case challenging Nestleโs water withdrawal permit in Michigan
A 2018 case challenging Nestleโs permit to extract Michigan water and sell it for a profit has been dismissed by the stateโs environmental department on Friday. Residents have also shown outrage over the company taking Michigan water almost for free and turning it into a huge profit. In 2018, residents told Local 4 that the creek was thriving a few years ago, but things have changed because of the water Nestle is pumping out. In an effort to ramp up the legal fight against Nestleโs use of Michigan water, environmental groups requested that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel step in back in July of this year. Our water use in Michigan ranks us far down on the list of the stateโs top water users.
