Water company files paperwork for its Orland bottling plant (California)

Published 10/07/2009
Crystal Geyser Water Co. filed paperwork Monday to move forward with plans to build a sparkling water bottling plant in this Glenn County city.

Crystal Geyser recently approached the city with plans to build a 112,500 square-foot bottling plant at 1507 County Road 200 on 10.35 acres of land zoned for this type of use. The plant would use 160 acre-feet of water a year from a well on the property.

One acre-foot of water is 325,851 gallons, or enough water to sustain two California households for a year. The city has said the proposed bottling plant would use about the same amount of water used for 50-60 acres of orchard crops.
