Arrowhead water bottler ordered to stop operations in San Bernardino Mountains [View all]
KTLAThe federal government has backed up California state regulators in ordering the company that bottles Arrowhead water to stop drawing from the San Bernardino Mountains.
Though BlueTriton Brands draws from springs in the mountains that have been used for bottled water since 1906, environmental activists have claimed the removal of that water is harming wildlife, particularly Strawberry Creek.
About a year ago, California’s Water Resources Control Board ordered BlueTriton to stop using the water, which flows through public lands like the San Bernardino National Forest.
On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times reported that the U.S. Forest Service has denied BlueTriton’s permit to extract water from San Bernardino Mountains springs.
