I was referring to the Crystal Splash web site that quoted a nutritionist for the Beaumont, Ca. Unified School District.

As far as I know, Crystal Splash does not receive water from RSPG. I think the Crystal Splash source is a spring in California. I think their plan is/was to move their products eastward and to then begin using RSPG as a water source when it was more economically/geographically feasible to do so because of shipping costs. Therefore, the Crystal Splash LOI (if it is still active) would not become contractural until their product distribution expands far enough eastward (probably one of those "forward-looking" statements)to use RSPG as a source.

I believe Crystal Splash products are mostly flavored water, which school districts and state legislatures across the U.S. are increasingly using/mandating as an option instead of soda water, which is gradually being removed from schools.

Billion, regarding Clark County:

A private company in Las Vegas was said to have a contract to provide bottled water to the Clark County (Las Vegas) school district (over 200,000 students). The company was supposedly going to use RSPG as a water source and had an LOI with RSPG.

I filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Clark County school district and was informed that the district did not then, nor ever had, a contract with the private company. I passed this information on to RSPG.

Meanwhile, as discussed here, we learned the private company is involved in unrelated legal issues.

The latest I was told is that RSPG is working with Clark County schools on its own.
