The Victorian Government has been branded hypocritical over the amount charged to bottled water companies for what they take from springs and aquifers, with most firms paying between $1.10 and $1.40 for every million litres.A recent decision by a rural water authority will allow one company to extract 25 million litres of water from a Kinglake spring for $27.50 at a time of water restrictions in 150 Victorian towns and Melbourne facing shortages.
