it's not a law, rule or ordinance. most restaurants I've been to give water out as a courtesy though the water is usually warm and they may charge you for ice. Most gas stations will charge you for the cup and ice.

I do not believe so. It would be a waste of a precious resource if it were required, and an needlessly expensive water bill for the restaurant.
Most restaurants operate on a small profit margin. I'm happy to request it just when I need it. How about you?

No. At some restruants they have those soda machines where you press the button and soda come out and one of those buttons is water but you still have to buy a medium drink.

I'm not sure if its a federal law but in AZ you must allow people to drink water even out of your hose in the yard and all restaurants must give water at no charge if asked, but why not..... in AZ it can get up to 118 degrees or more in the summer ...its even hot at night too.

Not sure whether there is an actual law or not, however, how you get the water can determine whether or not you would be expected to pay...Tap vs. bottled. In places that the source of the water is questionable, it is safer to just go for the bottled...especially if traveling abroad!

that's real that if Congress does no longer fix the budge, then the layoffs will ensue. Republicans have vowed that their correct priority replaced into getting Obama out of the Whitehouse. Given this purpose, permitting the automatic cuts to ensue, which may reason uneducated voters to imagine that it really is Obama's fault, that's wise for any president to insulate himself from such celebration machinations. in truth, the President's counter adverse to the Republicans' anti-Obama time table ought to diminish the stress (from celebration heavies) to tank the budget and ruin the country. So, once you imagine about the overall results of Obama putting forth this ruling, you spot that that's in the country's maximum appropriate interest, and the in reality losers are Republican legislators.

Nope, no law. Many places will give free water with a meal, or charge you for the paper cup, like a nickel.

No. There are no laws requiring free anything from private establishments. Restaurants usually charge for a cup only if you ask. They'd probably pour it in your hands if you're unwilling to pay.

NO.! It's just an optional service to "Offer" water routinely when you are seated in a restaurant and they don't NEED to "Offer" it. However, they can not REFUSE to give you water, should you ASK for it because that is required for safety reasons.

I'm not sure if its a federal law...but I am pretty sure that if you go to a restraunt and ask for free water....they should give away free sink water.
