In 2015, a Desert Sun investigation revealed that Nestlé was piping spring water from the San Bernadino National Forest to sell as Arrowhead brand bottled water. The newspaper found the company was using a permit with an expiration date in 1988, a permit the Forest Service hadn’t reviewed in many years.

The cost all these years for this water was free to the company, while California went through a drought.

Today Arrowhead is owned by a new company and the water is still free.

L.A. Times water writer Ian James joined us to share where this water controversy stands.
