WATER COMPANY MAKES ITS PITCH TO ORTING

By: Melissa Santos August 6, 2008

Orting City Council members are continuing talks with a Nestle subsidiary about building a bottled-water plant in town – less than a month after Enumclaw officials sent the company packing.
Nestle Waters North America officials gave a public presentation before the council Wednesday night about the company’s business practices and what it’s looking for in a potential location.

City engineers and the company are investigating how such a plant, which would bottle 100 million gallons of water a year, might affect the city’s water supply.
