Nestlé To Build Water Bottling Plant In S.C.

McBee, S.C., will be the location of a new bottling plant to be built by Nestlé Waters North America. The $40 million, 200,000 sq. ft. plant, expected to open early next year, could create 50 new jobs in the area. It would operate two production lines that could produce “an average of 60–100 trucks of bottled water” a day. The water source for the plant is located five miles northwest of McBee, and could provide about 3,000 gallons a minute. Nestlé would use around five percent of that.
