A report has revealed Wal-Mart is getting its bottled water from California, despite a historic drought. The drought recently prompted the state’s first-ever mandatory water restrictions. Communities have been ordered to slash their water use by as much as 36 percent, but the curbs do not apply to agriculture and other industry. Local news station CBS13 found Wal-Mart is drawing its bottled water from the Sacramento Municipal Water Supply at a massive profit. Starbucks has also been drawing bottled water from California, although it recently vowed to move production to Pennsylvania after the practice came to light.
