Other cities coast to coast have since banned city-funded purchases of bottled water. As reported in August by the Chicago Sun Times, Chicago might have a unique approach to relieving a $217.7 million budget gap for the upcoming year. The idea came from Alderman George Cárdenas who proposed taxing bottled water with a 10 to 25 cent per bottle tax to reduce landfill costs and close a nearly $40 million shortfall in the city’s water and wastewater funds, in part because of a slow down in water usage. This idea will be explored by a supporting Mayor Daly in future budget talks. We can hope other cities will consider such a tax to protect city infrastructure from corporations that abuse the public trust. Many critics point out that bottled water has another downside.

  • What's Really in Your Bottled Water?
    What’s Really in Your Bottled Water? Consumer Reports found toxic PFAS chemicals in several popular water brands, especially carbonated ones By Ryan Felton September 24, 2020 3.1K SHARES CR recently tested 47 bottled waters, including 35 noncarbonated and 12 carbonated ones. For each product, we tested two to four samples. The tests focused on four heavy metals (arsenic, cadmium, lead, and mercury), plus 30 PFAS chemicals, which pose special concerns because they can linger in the environment almost indefinitely. The federal government has issued only voluntary guidance for PFAS, saying the combined amounts for two specific PFAS compounds should be below 70 parts per trillion. A few states have set lower limits, of 12 to 20 ppt, according to American Water Works, an industry group. The International Bottled Water Association, another group, says that it supports federal limits for PFAS and that bottled water should have PFAS levels below 5 ppt for any single compound and 10 ppt for more than one. Some experts say the cutoff for total PFAS levels should be even lower, 1 ppt. Noncarbonated Water Most of the noncarbonated products CR tested had detectable levels of PFAS, but only two—Tourmaline Spring and Deer Park—exceeded 1 part per trillion. Tourmaline Spring says the amount of PFAS in its bottled water is below the levels set by the IBWA and all states. Nestlé, which makes Deer Park, says that its most recent testing for the brand indicated undetectable levels of PFAS. All noncarbonated water that CR tested had heavy metal levels well below federal safety limits, with one exception: Starkey Spring Water owned by Whole Foods.

HARTZ, Circuit Judge. Eureka Water Company contends that a 1975 agreement grants it the exclusive license in 60 Oklahoma counties to sell spring water and other products using the Ozarka trademark. It sued Nestle Waters North America, Inc., the current owner of the Ozarka trademark, to obtain a declaratory judgment of that right and to obtain monetary relief under several theories, including breach of contract, tortious interference with business relations, unjust enrichment, and promissory estoppel. A jury found for Eureka on its contract and tortious- interference claims, and the district court entered a judgment declaring that the 1975 agreement granted Eureka the exclusive right that it claimed in the Ozarka mark.
