I don't know specifically about this Nestle plant -- although they are shits for going after limited water resources in the Shasta watershed in California.
But as to various forms of high-capacity wells in general, in neighboring Wisconsin, not only are other pre-existing wells at risk from this -- which the Republican state government continues to seek to reduce regulation of and control over, meaning planning and effective and fair management of a limited resource. New high-capacity wells are also threatening and impacting lakes. A lot of those wells are for agri-business, such as very large capacity commercial animal husbandry/farming.
In those cases, the other risk is resulting animal waste; disposal often leaves it contaminating the aquifer.
Quite arguably, this isn't "conservative" at all. They aren't conserving resources -- nor existing property rights and businesses. It is "Conservative", an ideology that places money and individual short-term gain before all else.
I'm from Wisconsin as well and agree completely. The conservatives haven't been conservative in this state for many years. They're just Super PAC and special interest representatives running under the flag of the Republican party.
