Tap water is good for you, unless you are part of the city bureaucracy
Do you remember the ad campaign the city of NY launched recently to convinced everybody the tap water are safe and worth using? Apparently this does not include the only place where such recommendation is appropriate - the city administration! And while the $700,000 from taxpayer money are being spent on questionable campaign, an additional $3 million are being spent buying bottled water for city workers.
As Mayor Bloomberg spouts on about the beauty of tap water, many city workers will be drinking the bottled variety - $3 million worth over three years, the Daily News has learned.
Bloomberg plans to shell out the big bucks as part of a city contract with Nestle Waters North America, distributor of Poland Spring and Deer Park, records show.
The $3 million is for water delivery and cooler rentals between this year and 2010.
And that doesn’t even count the $110,000 city officials already spent this year on 630,000 single-serving bottles of Poland Spring, according to the Department of Citywide Administrative Services.
Cancel both and its a nice small saving from the city budget.
