Bottled water ban begins in Concord MA[views:6575][posts:22]_____________________________________ [Jan 10,2013 10:01am - Alx_Casket ""] http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/09/07...-sale-of-plastic-water-bottles?lite Bottles one liter or less are now banned from being sold in Concord. A first offense comes with a warning, followed by $25 for second offense and $50 for any beyond that. As a tap water enthusiast, I welcome our new overlords. |

"It will also deprive the town of needed tax revenue and harm local businesses that rely on bottled water sales." GOOD that they were banned exactly because of this attitude. Your town sucks and is full of water bottle litter. What happened 200 years ago is ancient history. Your freedom to consume stupid wasteful bullshit has been taken away. Your businesses should fail if they rely on bottled water sales. Fuck off anyone who believes bottled water bans are a gateway to Stalinism. Fuck right off. |

| ____________________________________________ [Jan 10,2013 2:12pm - givemeedtilimdead ""] Haverhill has some of the best tap water in the USA (according to a plumber buddy of mine) I always drink out of the tap. Fuck bottled. waste of $$$ |
| ____________________________________ [Jan 10,2013 2:32pm - Alx_Casket ""] Brockton well water? I'd think that everyone would be on city water, it's not the sticks. |
| ________________________________ [Jan 10,2013 2:36pm - Burnsy ""] Nope we've had the option to connect to it but it's pretty costly. We just buy jugs of water and make sure not to cook with the tap (boiling doesn't eliminate hard minerals). Having the well fuckin sucks. Water smells like hard boiled eggs and turns the shower curtain yellow/orange. |

The ban in Concord, according to NBC News, was the culmination of a three-year effort to ban bottled water. Local businesses aren't happy and stress the ban hurts their sales and will drive bottled water sales elsewhere. I just read it from here: PersonalMoneyNetwork |

We can sell boxed water, water in glass bottles, seltzer in plastic bottles (Apparently, as soon as the water gets carbonated it's okay), and 1.5 liter plastic bottles and larger. But no single-serve plastic bottles. |
