Kitchener -- Councillors in Waterloo Region have banned bottled water from regional buildings and events in an effort to promote tap water they contend is a better choice.

Councillors endorsed the ban 13-0, rejecting criticism that it removes a healthy consumer choice for no environmental benefit.

Critics of the bottled water industry applauded the ban. They object to companies profiting from water sales and are concerned about plastic bottles filling blue boxes and landfills.

The ban prompted Nestlé Waters Canada to withdraw its proposal to partner with the region to collect discarded water bottles in public spaces.

Nestlé draws water from nearby Puslinch for sale in Ontario and Quebec.

I know there have already been bans across canada on water bottles. Most of the news articles I read say it's to reduce plastic to help the environment, which I agree with. However there are many other products that should be banned way before water bottles. This article from KW is actually promoting tap water that they contend is a better choice.
