Bottled Water Community Impact

Bottled Water Community Impact

Bottled water companies invest in the communities where their plants are located.

Building a bottled water plant and siting a spring source requires a tremendous investment, both for the construction of the plant and the necessary equipment, as well as infrastructure to support the plant’s activities. This often involves upgrading utilities and roads surrounding the plant’s and spring source’s site, which are often set in rural communities that would not necessarily have the resources to provide such upgrades. Bottled water plants also bring well-paying jobs and substantial taxes, a win-win for the community. In addition, bottled water companies are good neighbors, supporting community activities with volunteerism, donations, disaster relief, partnerships, and sponsor funds.
