Mount Shasta Fights Water Bottler

Wikimedia

The ongoing drought in California is turning attention in a number of directions, including to the water bottling industry. 

Several companies have come under fire for continuing to bottle water in a state hard-hit by drought. 

And in one case, the plant in question is not even open yet: the Crystal Geyser Water Company plant in Mount Shasta. 

The approvals and permits are lining up for the operation, but over the strenuous objections of several groups.  We hear from water plant opponents.
