lol, while I still think it's retarded, supposedly Austin's water is some of the best. Admitedly our water supply comes from natural springs so I guess it is "spring water". But the kicker for me was that they are tyring to sell Austin tap water to Austin residents!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Whoever came up with this idea deserves a good kick in the A$$

Actually, the person that came up with the idea may be a marketing genius. Considering how much you are charged for your water and how much they can get if they bottle it and you might see there's a profit to be made. There's a lot of bottlers out there that put a beautiful snow covered mountain on there label and give it a name like Glacier Springs and sell it to people for $1 a litre and you find out it's from some spring in Arkansas.
