GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) - Grand Rapids officials want people to drink tap water instead of bottled water.
The Grand Rapids Press reports the "Take Back the Tap" promotion is expected to get going this week. As part of the effort, the city will no longer purchase bottled water for distribution at city events.
Mayor George Heartwell says tap water is healthy, cheaper than bottled water and better for the environment.
Grand Rapids once promoted its tap water by bottling it under its own logo. The city will still distribute bottled water for emergencies.
The first place to be fluoridated in the USA.
