“It has been our experience from the beginning that Nestlé Waters has been very out front and eager to sit down, not only with units of government and our economic development groups in the county, but also individual citizens or any groups that are interested. They take the time with organizations like Rotary, or sit down with people who have had questions or concerns.

It really has been an unusually pleasant experience to work with a company like that.

We have actually talked to other communities where they have been operating for a long period of time, and have been very pleased with what we’ve learned from these other communities. They really have proven to be environmental stewards in the communities that they’ve operated in and we look forward to having the same kind of experience with them in Mecosta County.”

At Nestlé Waters, we encourage our neighbors to learn about who we are and what we do.  Ask other communities what kind of neighbor we are. Are we a positive, responsible and caring part of the community?

People might have questions or want to share a new development.  We talk to communities in many ways, from public forums to newsletters, local websites, advertising and hosting community days.
