@PattyHanson Year ago, the #PBS show #Frontline had taken some footage of the actual water source -- a drilled well. Afterwards, #PolandSpring posted the area as a "No Trespassing Zone". The alleged "spring" is little more than a seasonal trickle, and NOT the water source.
@PattyHanson So, I happen to know a LOT about the #Nestle water fraud case. I did some digging when Nestle / #BlueTriton / #PolandSpring wanted to double their extraction during a DROUGHT! I found old maps by their own hydrologists which showed that the surrounding area was all part of the same watershed -- something that was confirmed by #MaineDEP. Anyhow, their paid shill was flabbergasted and didn't know what to say, so they ended up backing out of their plans. Sometimes it just takes some pushback (and making a stink) to get corporations to change. But they are tricky f*cks -- well-practiced in PR and BS!
For the past few years, I've had to dedicate time to fight STUPID SHIT here in #Maine. Two years ago, #PolandSpring / #BlueTriton / WhateverTheFuckThey'reCalledNow tried to double water extraction during a #Drought. Last year, #MaineTurnpikeAuthority wanted to put a highway through one of the last working farms in #GreaterPortlandMaine (#SmilingHillFarm). Now this year, #MDOT wants to build a replacement bridge over the #SacoRiver with NO PEDESTRIAN SIDEWALK! In an area with a library, an ice cream parlor, and hiking trails on both sides of the river! WTF is wrong with people! Well, #CorporateGreed is a big part of the problem. I'm sure MTA had the contractors salivating over the contracts they hoped to milk out of them!
