"California Court Delivers Blow to Arrowhead Bottled Water Company"

California water regulators have ruled that BlueTriton Brands, the company that bottles Arrowhead 100% Mountain Spring Water, must cease taking millions of gallons of water from springs in the San Bernardino Mountains. The State Water Resources Control Board unanimously ordered the company to stop diverting water through its pipelines, as it was found to be taking more water than it had rights to. Environmentalists have praised the decision, stating that it puts an end to the unlawful removal of water from public lands. BlueTriton Brands, which took over the business from Nestlé in 2021, has argued that it has valid water rights and plans to vigorously defend them.
