This is the sweetheart deal nestle got from Snyder:

Nestle pays just $200 a year to the state of Michigan to pump more than 130 million gallons of water. Other US states have struck similar arrangements with big companies, authorizing them to pump as much water as they wish for a pittance as long as they build the infrastructure themselves.Feb 4, 2018

They can sell 4 small bottles at 1$ each, per gallon of water x 556 gallons... Well, do the math. My fingers are too stiff to paw through my cell phone to find the calc.
