Editor, The Times:
We can’t water our lawns and gardens, we can’t fish and we have to conserve every drop of precious water.
Yet, Nestlé is taking B.C. water for $2.25 per million litres and selling it back to us for $2.50 a bottle.
Nestlé is sucking us dry, just as it continues to do in California during that state’s serious drought.
It is only recently that our B.C. Liberal government started charging Nestlé a measly $2.25 per million litres.
Before this, Nestlé took the water free of charge.
This is outrageous.
I would really like to know what is going on — as would, I am sure, the rest of B.C. residents who are watching their lawns turn brown and their forests go up in smoke.
