But...the water...

[M Sparks]

...the filtered water program. Is it no more?

[Radiohead]

Yes, I believe it has been confirmed that the water program will definitely not be back. It's too bad. I honestly think it's one of the best ideas the festival ever implemented.

[Aales]

Does anybody know why? I loved the WP,was it possibly too messy?

[Hairyhenderson]

they will make more money just selling water bottles, that's why.

...the filtered water program. Is it no more?

Are you fucking kidding me?

[TheClares]

Probably part of their cutting back, ala no volunteers who probably mainly worked those stations

[frazzles]

The lack of volunteers seems like the most probable solution. In fact, that makes perfect fucking sense.

[Boourns]

Seriously? The water program is one of the few things that went off without a hitch last year. But one of the only tasks volunteers are qualified to do, really.

[Fourthisto]

Well, trying to look on the bright side, at least they're still doing the 10 empties for a full bottle of water program. If they axed both of those, that would be so much worse.

[MistaGlitch]

i fuckin LOVE water

[grenade]

That was one of the best additions to last year

[Altohombre]

I heard the bottles they gave for the program leaked. Was this widespread or just rare cases?

[LyricsForTheMind]

Yup, leaked massively. I ended up just throwing mine out during the first day; I heard the same happened for a lot of other people as well.

[Still-ill]

Booo

[tyles]

I really hope this isn't true. The filtered water program was one of the best things to happen at the fest that wasn't music-related these past two years. If it isn't, I would really appreciate knowing why it's not happening.

[menikmati]

The no volunteers makes the most sense...because that's all who was working/manning those stations the last two years. Oh well though, the water was warm anyway.

[amishCYBORG]

Mine also leaked. Pretty sure they leaked BPA's too.

There's already a thread covering this topic, btw.

They need to bring back the 2009 bottles and the program. I loved it!
