The U.S. Forest Service has ordered BlueTriton Brands to shut down a pipeline and other infrastructure it uses to collect and transport water from springs in the San Bernardino Mountains.

Environmental activists say the company’s operation has dramatically reduced creek flow and is causing significant environmental harm.

The company has challenged the denial in court, saying the denial has no legal merit.

BlueTriton says it will continue to operate in compliance with all state and federal laws while exploring legal and regulatory options.

Records show about 319 acre-feet , or 104 million gallons , flowed through the company’s pipes in 2023 .

The company argues the Forest Service has violated federal law with a decision that is “arbitrary and capricious”.
