Sacto puts brakes on Nestle

A Nestle botled water plant that is under construction has been put on hold in Sacramento.  Apparently, the city council is going to vote on adding planning requirements to bottled water plants, and so they are idling construction at this plant while the issue is decided.  While I am in favor of adding scrutiny to bottled water plants, this seems to be going back on an agreement that had been approved.  Details here (may not be a permalink).

City officials have said the Nestlé plant could draw an estimated 80 million gallons of water a year – or about two-tenths of a percent of the city’s total water consumption.
