Today is World Water Day, a day to mark the importance of water in our lives. To RCAP, however, every day is a day to be concerned about water, and our mission is to assist small, rural communities in particular and to ensure that they have a clean, safe and affordable supply for their residents.

This Jan. 27 Boston Globe article shows just how far some places - a town in this case - are going to get rid of bottled water. Many universities across the country have banned the sale of bottled water on their campuses, but this is among the first whole town to do so.

The ban prohibits the sale of plastic water bottles 1 liter or less in Concord, Mass.

The bylaw, new as of Jan. 1, is not without controversy, however.

In a way, such a move is not surprising for the town where the American Revolution began.
