Link?

And here’s a kicker article on Concord, MA (Outside Boston)
http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/news/x1195009524/Concord-TM-bans-sale-of-water-in-plastic-bottles
~~CONCORD - Voters here banned the sale of drinking water in plastic bottles in town, as of next Jan. 1, during Town Meeting’s final session Thursday night.

“Selling water in plastic bottles is the triumph of perceived need over real need,” said Jean Hill, who drew up the measure.~~

(Spoken:)
I’m gonna tell you a story
I’m gonna tell you about my town
I’m gonna tell you a big bad story, baby
Aww, it’s all about my town

Yeah, down by the river
Down by the banks of the river Charles (aw, that’s what’s happenin’ baby)
That’s where you’ll find me
Along with lovers, fuggers, and thieves (aw, but they’re cool people)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you’re my home (oh, you’re the Number One place)
Frustrated women (I mean they’re frustrated)
Have to be in by twelve o’clock (oh, that’s a shame)
But I’m wishin’ and a-hopin, oh
That just once those doors weren’t locked (I like to save time for
my baby to walk around)
Well I love that dirty water
Oh, Boston, you’re my home (oh, yeah)

Because I love that dirty water
Oh, oh, Boston, you’re my home (oh, yeah)

Well, I love that dirty water (I love it, baby)
I love that dirty water (I love Baw-stun)
I love that dirty water (Have you heard about the Strangler?)
I love that dirty water (I’m the man, I’m the man)
I love that dirty water (Owww!)
I love that dirty water (Come on, come on)

Any idea on the age of that water main? There are plenty more incidents like this waiting to happen as our infrastucture ages out.

8 millions gallons a hour! At least it’s fresh water and not something more noxious.
