Nestle extends Flint bottled water donations through August
Nestlé Waters North America will provide free bottled water to Flint residents through August — adding four months to its donation plans, the company told Bridge Magazine on Wednesday.
Since May 2018, Nestlé has provided 100,000 bottles per week of Ice Mountain water to three volunteer-run “help centers” that continue to face high demands from residents still wary of tap water nearly five years after a contamination crisis.
The conglomerate, which has faced controversy for its extraction of 210 million gallons of water per year from central Michigan, had previously promised to donate water to Flint through April.
Before Nestlé announced the extension, it wasn’t certain if residents could continue to receive free bottled water after this month.
