With Nestlé’s announcement to withdraw its water bottling facility plans only four days old and a public hearing on the issue of raising district water service rates, it was no surprise that last Monday’s McCloud directors meeting was packed.

With a public hearing for protest against a proposed water rate increase scheduled first, many residents presented their concerns on the issue.

McCloud, Calif. -

Nestlé Waters North America has decided to withdraw its proposal to build a bottling facility in McCloud.
The decision followed what Nestlé Waters described as “a thorough analysis of its business operations in Northern California,” including the new facility the company has secured in Sacramento that it sees as a replacement for the production expected from McCloud.

During a half hour presentation at last week's Weed Rotary Club luncheon, Nestle's Dave Palais outlined the company's recently revised McCloud water bottling project proposal and fielded questions from club members and guests.
