The City of Thunder Bay is sticking with the status quo. A policy limiting the sale of bottled water at muncipal facilities was amended to allow people the choice between drinking municipal water or paying for bottled. The original policy was written to say you wouldn't be able to buy bottled water or get bottled water at any municipal facilities. Several councillors were in favour of the original policy and Andrew Faulds voted against the amended version. Foulds feels the new policy is watered down. The city will be conducting an education study and will promote the use of municipal tap water.
