What MCTC might do with the sale of bottled water

Katie Lentsch writes in City College News why Minneapolis Community & Technical College might catch the current ban-the-water-bottle wave hitting Minnesota colleges:

With (food contractor) Sodexo’s current contract expiring this coming June, this could be a good time for researching alternate water options. Speaking with President Davis, Conley said, “The school needs to update its drinking fountains. [The Senate] opted to purchase a fountain with a bottle filler option in the cafeteria.”

College already banning the water bottle or looking for other options include the College of St. Benadict, Macalaster, Bemidji State and the University of Minnesota - Morris, Lentsch reports.
