Ever wanted a slurp of the Willamette?
Monday, November 10, 2008 | No comments posted.
PORTLAND (AP) — Dasani may soon start filtering and bottling water from the Willamette River.
Coca-Cola Bottling of Oregon plans a $35 million expansion of its suburban Wilsonville plant near Interstate 5 to include Dasani water.
Bottled water is not without controversy.
Critics say that filtering and bottling tap water, as Dasani and some other brands do, just packs landfills with bottles when people could simply turn on a faucet in their homes.
But the American Beverage Association says bottled water goes through additional filtering. And for Dasani, Coca-Cola adds its own brand of minerals.
