Is Airline Water Safe?
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently issued a report stating that in 12.6% of the aircraft tested, there were coliform bacteria in the water. Should travelers be worried? Maybe. The EPA advises those with health risks to drink bottled water. The Air Transport Association, an association of U.S. airline carriers, disputes the study’s methodology and urges continued study. |

Perrier®: Featured Bottled Water of the Month
Perrier might be considered the granddaddy of bottled waters – the one many of us first started drinking. But its parent company, Nestle Waters France, has been in the news recently over trade union labor disputes and the idea that bottling generic water may take on a greater role in its future. The outcome is still to be determined. Regardless, find out what causes Perrier’s fizz and how to incorporate the sparkling water into a few, refreshing non-alcoholic drinks (particularly with the holidays coming up). |

Perrier, the French mineral bottled water, was in the news last month (September 2004) when its parent company Nestle Waters France said it was considering selling Perrier after a trade union blocked an early retirement plan affecting about 1,000 jobs. |
