The Real Cost of Bottled Water
Think bottled water is convenient? It may be -- but what about the cost? If you buy a cold, 16 ounce bottle of water from a vending machine, you might pay as much as $1 or $1.25. Buy the equivalent of one gallon (8 bottles) and you'll pay $8 - $10. Meanwhile, customers of Fort Wayne City Utilities can turn on the tap at home and get a gallon of safe, great tasking drinking water for just $0.0026. That's about a fourth of a penny. Bottled water has other costs -- the cost of manufacturing the bottles, bottling the water, shipping the bottles and getting rid of the plastic after the bottle is empty.
