National Drinking Water Week News release:
DENVER, May 3 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In an age when many people pay $1.50 for 20 ounces of bottled water, the American Water Works Association (AWWA) this week is reminding people of the value of tap water by distributing bottles that provide "Reasons to Fill This Bottle With Tap Water."
Reasons include:
1. Free refills at participating faucets
2. Refill vs. Landfill?
3. No carbs: Go ahead and supersize it
4. Undergoes more testing than professional athletes
Comment:
5. Does not turn the water that all citizens own, and require the government to protect on their behalf, into a private fountain of profit, and does not increase the risk that someday we will all beg greedy special interests to give us a little bit of "their" water so that we can survive.
