Swiss company Nestle pays the state of Michigan next to nothing to bottle its water. According to MLive.com, Nestle pays $200 dollars a year to pump over 210 million gallons of water annually out of the Great Lakes water system. That’s less than $1 per million gallons of water or to frame it another way $0.0000009524 per gallon.
