Since 2009 millions of gallons - yes MILLIONS - are sucked from our valley and trucked to Denver to be bottled in plastic, by Nestle Waters North America.

Help us keep that water in Chaffee County - for the health of our valley, and its future!

On October 20, 2020, the Chaffee County Board of Commissioners, at a public hearing, will vote to approve, or deny, Nestle’s permit extension to bottle water from Ruby Springs. If approved, millions more gallons of water will be siphoned from our watershed, over the next 10 years. While Nestle owns the junior water right, they need the 1041 permit renewal to continue their bottling operation. Let’s say NO to Nestle!
