Yip you read right. What are the Hawkes Bay Council thinking. BTW this news is from last year but I have only read about it . A Chinese owned bottling plant, One Pure has recently set up in the Hawke’s Bay and once operating at full capacity, will run 24/7 to export an expected 400 million litres of pristine aquifer water per year back to China. New Zealand has such a high quality of aquifer water that foreign investors are shipping millions of bottles out of the country per year, all of which has been taken at zero cost. Currently, this water will all be taken at the cost of New Zealanders at a time when water is increasingly becoming polluted around the country. www.wakeupnz.net/who-owns-new-zealands-water/
