Hi there- We saw this coming in the UK a fair time ago and trying to speak to the large retailers (even today) they seem blinkered to the fact that already people refill water bottles up to 7 times at the office water cooler and the tap instead of buying expensive bottled waters all the time. SANTEAU did this research in the UK with a national opinion poll. If companies are supplying spring/spa/filtered water - just refill the bottles there you will save a fortune ! The thing is bottled water cooler manufacturers have change the size of the area under which you used to be able to place a 500ml water bottle so now it only takes cups instead - plastic cups! The reason for this change is - the water cooler companies make more money on the cup saleas than they do on the water itself ! Refill from the tap instead Cheers Jonathan TEAMO2GO
