California orders bottled water company to stop 'unauthorized' piping from springs

California legislators passed a bill giving water regulators authority to investigate whether some of the state’s oldest water rights are valid.A spokesperson for BlueTriton Brands said in an email that the company and its predecessors “have collected water from Arrowhead Springs in Strawberry Canyon in an environmentally responsible and sustainable way for more than 125 years.”

BlueTriton said the ruling “creates water rights uncertainty” and negatively affects other water users that rely on groundwater. The company said it will “vigorously defend our water rights through the available legal process.” The company has said Arrowhead bottled water is sourced from 11 spring sites across California, as well as one spring in Colorado and another in British Columbia. The source north of San Bernardino is the only one located in a national forest.

“They didn’t have rights,” Doughty said. “You can’t take water and have no consequences just because you’ve been doing it for a long time.”
