A Battle Over Water in San Bernardino, California

In a move that has sparked considerable debate, the federal government has aligned with California state regulators to mandate that BlueTriton Brands cease its water extraction operations from the San Bernardino Mountains. This directive supports the state's earlier decision, which environmentalists argue is crucial for preserving local wildlife and ecosystems, particularly affecting Strawberry Creek.

BlueTriton, which has been utilizing mountain springs for its Arrowhead bottled water since 1906, finds itself at the center of a contentious environmental issue. The California Water Resources Control Board had previously issued an order to halt these operations, as the water collection occurs on public lands within the San Bernardino National Forest.

This week, the U.S. Forest Service reinforced this stance by denying BlueTriton’s permit renewal, as reported by the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday. Environmental groups have applauded this decision, which they see as a victory for conservation efforts.

However, BlueTriton has responded critically to these developments. In a statement to the Times, the company expressed its discontent, claiming the decision is “unsupported by facts.” They argue that their operations have been a longstanding presence in the region, as evidenced by their historical use of the land under governmental permits. “BlueTriton Brands and its predecessors ‘have continuously operated under a series of special use permits for nearly a century,'” the company communicated via email.
