Ballot Measure 14-55, amending the Hood River County charter to prohibit the commercial production of bottled water and transport of water for that purpose, passed by a wide margin in Tuesday night’s vote count, but the battle surrounding it will probably continue.  About 69 percent of Hood River County voters approved the measure.  The measure was filed by opponents of a proposal by Nestle to build a water bottling plant in Cascade Locks, where City Administrator Gordon Zimmerman noted 58 percent of residents voted against the measure.  He told Bicoastal Media Wednesday morning that “the county charter does not apply within the city limits” and with the spring within the city’s urban growth boundary they will consider to pursue the issue based upon its citizens’ desire for economic development.  Aurora del Val of the Local Water Alliance, which backed the measure, said on Mid-Columbia Today her group has anticipated legal challenges to the measure’s validity, and will continue to ask for the support of the people.  In a prepared statement, a Nestle spokesman said the company was disappointed by the outcome, but did not offer any comment on the company’s future plans.  Hood River County Administrator David Meriwether confirmed the County Commission has asked the Oregon Department of Justice if the state had standing to intervene and if they intend to do so, and said the DOJ indicated they believe they did because water rights are controlled by the state, but gave no indication whether they would or not.
