Nestle's neighbors remain worried Company wants more water from source in Washington Twp.
Nestle will make amends to anyone whose wells run dry near the company's Washington Township water source. It's a promise the company made several years ago, and reiterated Wednesday afternoon at a meeting with township residents. But despite the company's pledge to replace lost well water or dig new wells, and its detailed scientific studies, some residents left with the same concern that brought them to the meeting. They worry that if Nestle starts withdrawing more water, their wells will run dry.h Valley Local Links ''Nobody feels any more comfortable,'' said Sherry Darr, who lives near Nestle's water source and has her own well.
Residents ready to fight Nestle
Glenn Kerrigan listened patiently as Nestle Waters North America representatives explained the township's role in its bottled water operation. Then, after nearly three hours, he couldn't take any more. "I've sat here and listened to what Nestle can do for Nestle," Kerrigan said, shouting. "I'm asking you (township supervisors) as my representatives to defend my rights. It comes down to one thing: a dollar sign. How can Nestle make more money at my risk?"
