This bottled water company wants to pull out around 500,000 gallons per day, or 15,000,000 gallons per month. This equates to about 2 to 3 weeks of new residents moving to Florida! Your real issue should be the number of new residents and the endless development in Florida. But continue down your fruitless efforts to stop the bottling company.
Your post has nothing to do with the real issue. Of course the water will be sold to any wholesaler who will buy it. This company has no true consideration for we residents. Your numbers regarding Florida mean nothing to me. The water removal request will be from two Springs in Sumter county and will have an effect on Sumter residents, NOT the State of Florida !!!
