Maine's high court sides with Poland Spring in effort to expand water operations

Maine's highest court has sided with the parent company of Poland Spring in the bottled water company's efforts to expand its operations in western Maine.

PORTLAND, Maine —

Maine's highest court has sided with the parent company of Poland Spring in the bottled water company's efforts to expand its operations in western Maine.

In its unanimous ruling Thursday, the Maine Supreme Judicial Court vacated a lower court ruling that prevented Nestle Waters North America Inc. from building a water loadout facility in Fryeburg.

The decision is the latest step in Poland Spring's efforts to extract water from aquifers in the town of Denmark and pipe it to Fryeburg. Once there, the water would be stored in a silo and loaded into water transport trucks for delivery to Poland Spring's bottling plant.
