Bottling Lake Michigan Water
Lake Michigan
Rumor has it that Chicago may begin bottling tap water from Lake Michigan to raise funds for the city.
Dispelling the rumors, Mayor Daley claims he currently has “no plans” to privatize Chicago’s water system, but bottling and selling the city’s “exceptional” tap water is worth exploring, newly-appointed Water Management Commissioner Tom Powers said today.
“The quality of the water that the department puts out is exceptional. In some cases, it’s better than bottled water,” Powers said after his City Council confirmation hearing.
Asked if Chicago might someday bottle and sell Lake Michigan water, Powers said, “As far as how you go about doing that — I don’t know how practical that is. It’s something you’d have to look at.”
