I believe if people want to down grade the water bottling industry , they should put more energy on the independent bottler instead of company's who bottle their own label, major labels who bottle their own beverage like nestleys, pepsi or coke , have the capital to give us a more superior beverage, they care about what goes in the bottle and know how to keep waste to a minimum, there are company's in the valley like for instance Advance H20, (this plant should be shut down) located in Stockton, who bottles water for several major labels, major stores and clubs, this bottler only looks at quantity instead of quality , Ive heard employees who work there saying they would never drink the water that come from that facility cause of all the contamination that gets in the bottle before its ever filled, maintenance manager only cares about numbers and supports poor work ethics by allowing or pushing the maintenance team to work on equipment while in operation, even though the equipment it self is causing the product to be contaminated, nothing is ever done to this bottler they get away with bottling a bad product, a product that is filtered , Sure, but after going through machinery which they allow to run with leaky filters, dirty stretch rods, bottles being blown with dirty wet air, the product is no better after going through the process then it was before the process, like drinking tap water. Their name is not on the bottle so they can care less. Now we have our pepsi , coke and nestleys who have standards and tough standards, they operate with the best equipment , they hire the best maintenance team trained and given the authority to shut down a line if they feel there are issues that need to be addressed on a high priority bases, these are the company's that I trust and will only buy their product, I guess what I'm saying is, knowing the standards of the major names and knowing we have one in our community I support it, If it were a advance h20 moving in our community I would be very concerned, cause I would feel I was getting ripped off, thats the other thing we need to look at, does the bottler have a maintenance team that is being managed by a person who follows , corporate standards , guide lines and ethics. Nestleys does cause they care more about quality then quantity, I feel good about that," people think outside the box", bottled water isn't forced on anyone, we go through a whole lot of it, If its being said that nestley bottles are being seen in the land-fields that just tells me they are giving us a better product, that maybe they can change their bottle type, maybe something that could be reusable. I have visited many bottling plants in the past 20 yrs and know how they operate, I can assure you we are lucky to have plants like Nestleys, Pepsi, Coke and 7up in our community. They honestly do care about our community and the product that they but their label on, more so then the independent bottler

I think that the people who are making this a problem are either mis informed or just dont have nothing better to do with their time, Nestleys is not taking any rights away from them, if they choose to drink tap water they have that right, this would be a valid argument if nestleys was just taking the the citie water and bottling it without putting it through any type of filtering and purification process, but thats not the case, nestleys puts the water through a state of the art process system, reverse osmosis , which is like filtering water through a rock, I understand that we need the natural minerals, but Im sure that once they filter and purifie the water , they add the important minerals needed to keep their customers healthy, it would be a wonderful world if we could just turn on our taps at home and fill our cups with free filtered water that has gone through the 7 state of the art filtration systems, but sorry to say no citie or county would invest in a system like that, so me personally I prefer to drink water that does not have the smell of chlorine and other crap that the government puts in it just to kill the bacteria , it cost to filter and ad healthy mineral in drinking water and i have the choice to either buy it or drink it free out of a garden hose, dont know about you but $4.00 for a case of water isn't that bad, We need plants like this , not only to help our economy , environment and open up jobs and careers , but to give us the choice of putting healthy water in our body's, I think groups like the one that is trying to prevent nestleys water from starting up., should do their research and weigh the pros with the cons, I'm sure they would see more positives then negatives in having this plant in our community. I support nestleys 110%
