About a month ago, Christopherson-Cote found out city council had cut $50,000 in funding for that water supply as part of a larger budget item eliminated during budget deliberations.

Never been so ashamed of paying my taxes, before.

Sounds like an argument for more drinking fountains.

Yes, that's another workable solution, but one that requires more planning and upfront investment (and possibly negotiation with landowners in some areas). For the two-plus years it would take to get the additional fountains through city budgeting, planning, finding contractors etc, the bottled water would still be needed.
