The Nestle Sacramento water bottling plant has been a controversial topic due to its impact on the city’s water supply, particularly during droughts. Located in the southeastern region of Sacramento, California, on Florin Perkins Road, the plant has been operational since 1989 and employs over 200 people. Nestle has been criticized for buying municipal water from Sacramento, bottling it, and reselling it at a significant profit, especially during water shortages. Protests have been organized by groups like Crunch Nestlé, calling for a reevaluation of water usage and the moratorium on bottling water. Nestle has defended its operations, stating that they follow local regulations and have implemented water-saving measures and environmental sustainability policies. The plant has also transitioned to using renewable energy sources for its operations.
