In 2000, Nestle Waters North America launched a search for a Midwest location for a factory to bottle the Ice Mountain brand of spring water, which was previously pumped from the ground near Allentown, PA.

In this Democracy Now! special report, we go from Flint to Mecosta County, Michigan, where Nestlé, the world’s largest water bottling company, is pumping millions of gallons of water from aquifers that feed Lake Michigan....
