No bottled water under the Sun

Perhaps there are environmental factors behind this, but the decision to end water-cooler service at the San Bernardino Sun feels like a cost-savings move. Here's note to staffers:

Effective Thursday, August 11th we will be discontinuing the bottled water service at The Sun’s business office and production plant.  Just a reminder that we do have water fountains on both floors of both buildings.  Please use the water faucets in the break rooms for making coffee if there is not already a faucet located at your coffee station.

It's a time of belt-tightening everywhere. Santa Monica College, which owns the offices where I work, just gave up Sparkletts for Arrowhead, as a way to save money.
