It is an important step toward ensuring our community has access to choose clean and safe public water. And by reinvesting in and promoting public water over bottled water, San Francisco will set an important example for other cities and people across the country.

[speaker not understood] Distribution Services and expanding access to public water is really important. Also wanted to mention that free Water Bottles are the biggest problem weve noticed. Sometimes when free Water Bottles are given out, they dont get consumed fully and we cant even pull the bag out of the bin because its full of water. So, thats just something to keep in mind. Thank you very much. I support it and i appreciate the work. Sir, i have a question.

Im the owner and founder of u. S. Pure water which is a company that is a Mission Driven company to help people get off of bottled water. So, this is an issue that we deal with all the time.
