Bottling expansion could see 9 billion litres of pristine Christchurch water sold overseas
Cloud Ocean Water has bought land for a second bottling plant across the road from a factory it is developing on the site of a former wool scour.
The China-owned company could be eyeing up billions more litres of water from beneath Christchurch to bottle and sell overseas as part of a major expansion of its operations in Belfast.
At least eight bores with permission to take drinking water are on or next to the new site.
If it gains consent to use them, it could have access to another 7.5 billion litres of the city's water – five times what it can already take – for export each year.
