Cities ponder restrictions in wake of London bottle ban
The water fountain is about to make a comeback. Plastic water bottles are the focus of a growing national backlash that's turning them from a fashion accessory into the latest environmental taboo. The issue reached a head in London, Ont., Monday night after city council voted to eliminate sales of bottled water at all city-run facilities, including arenas and community centres, and possibly even golf courses.
The issue, which engulfed London in debate, makes the city one of the first in Canada to adopt restrictions on bottled-water sales. Despite vocal protests from the beverage industry, London's Council easily approved the proposal, 15-3.
