Who needs bottled water? Anyone without access to pure water; uncontaminated with fluoride. It's not convenient to carry a rain barrel around at work.

@alanpgoodwin maybe these people need a fresh water supply rather than bottled water. luxury taxing bottled water would raise enormous funds for water infrastructure work.

i'd rather drink pure water than water filled with fluoride so fuck you with your fake co2 footprint and your gay hybrid cars.

Its so funny how people think bottled water is safe. Anything you drink out of plastic is toxic because when the bottle gets hot like when it is being transported the plastic let out chemicals into the drink then it goes in you. (Google it)

Waw some ppl do really think one sided. so what to do when there is a disaster what water will you drink what source to go to when you don't have any to go to in the first place. What about carbonated beverages those are good then? pls stop being so naive.
