If Chaffee County wants economic development, why is it not developing these resources and making the millions of dollars on this water for itself? Chaffee could realise these profits by acquiring the land use permit and water rights to grow their own economy while testing the viability of this plan. What is the point in outsourcing the profits? The current scenario is win-lose for Nestle-Chaffee.

The spirit of the law would be left intact with the water resource being used to benefit the citizens of Colorado, instead of a multinational corporation.
