- vkou 9y agoHow hard do you think they lobby to keep the permit $524?
- Johnny555 9y agoI don't know, how hard?
- ehnto 9y agoDo you think 30 million gallons is truly worth $524?
- Johnny555 9y agoI really have no idea how much untreated water is worth at the source. I now how much it costs me when it's treated and pumped to my house, but I don't know how much the raw water is worth. If it's worth more than that, maybe the agency selling permits should charge more. It's hardly Nestle's fault if they paid the required fee for their use.
- runeks 9y ago30m gallons of water is truly worth nothing to people who have plenty of water, and truly worth billions of dollars to people who are dehydrated. In other words “true worth” makes no sense; it depends on context.
