Great article about a disturbing topic. After reading the article that notes that Nestle's SAYS they will be using less than .02% of Sacramento's water, I checked a memo from Marty Hanneman, Director of the Utilities, to the mayor (9/14/9) that used the figure .2%. That still sounds like a small amount, if it is correct, but this is 10 times the .02% figure or 1/500th of Sacramento's daily water use. In other words, every year and a half, Sacramento's entire day's water use would be used by Nestle's--assuming they limit themselves to what they say they will use. Whatever the right percentage is, the scrutiny by the city council on this important issue seems to be about.00002%.
