It wouldn't surprise me if they run it all through a water softener too.
- berberous 8y agoI find this hard to believe. Got a link?
- suvelx 8y agoUnfortunately not. The only evidence I can provide is I once knew the groundskeeper for a group of properties owned by the super rich. One of his responsibilities was accepting the deliveries. These properties were in a built up residential area.

- Cthulhu_ 8y agoThat sounds impossibly expensive; I'm sure there's some of the super-rich that do it, but it sounds more like a glossy story than something ubiquitous. I would believe it if they "just" got tankers of clean water from elsewhere though. Plenty of people that have to survive off of water from tankers.
- johnvanommen 8y agoIn Las Vegas, they have plumbing for booze. Basically it's more practical to keep the booze in the back of the casino and plumb it into a network of bars, instead of keeping track of which bar is running out. Particularly when a single casino may have a hundred bars.
- 3chelon 8y agoThey have beer pipes in Belgium, too.

- benj111 8y agoMost places keep the kegs in a centralised location and pipe it around, whatever the size. I'd be surprised if the US were much different. You don't want delivery men rolling barrels around hotels etc, and you want to keep the beer cool. Plus bar space tends to be at a premium.
