RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Water SourceFor your future records I have copied the actual water licence for the bottling facility below. I have highlighted the actual amount of water they are allowed to extract from the well on a daily and yearly basis.
I'm assuming they have applied for their updated permit which had to be done by March 1st 2022. This application cannot be increased from the present limits it is merely a requirement. I'll attach a link for that info.
