A chemical leak contaminated a major public water supply in West Virginia on Friday, affecting more than 300,000 people. Due to the severity of the contamination, boiling water was not enough to ensure safety. As such, West Virginians in nine counties were instructed by government agencies not to drink the tap water, in any form, thereby creating a mass demand for bottled water.
Disasters like this remind us of the foolishness of those communities throughout the country who’ve banned the sale of bottled water for environmental concerns.
