Last year, Niagara Bottling Company wanted to more than double their water consumption to a whopping 650 acre-feet per year. Valencia Water Watchers, county residents, and local farmers stood up to them and they backed down. But now they’re back and asking for an astounding 700-acre feet per year of OUR WATER! That is 1.6 Million MORE gallons of our water over their original request! In the middle of a historic drought, in the middle of a desert, when our aquifer is shrinking, our water is needed for our people and farmers, not for Niagara’s profit.

Please show up on Thursday, June 23rd to the Los Lunas Council meeting (660 Main Street, Los Lunas) to either sign up to give public comment OR be part of filling the council chambers with concerned citizens. The meeting begins at 6 pm but if you want to give public comment, please arrive at 5:30 to sign your name on the list.
