Every glass of water brought to your table in a restaurant may require up to another two glasses of water to wash and rinse the glass. Since nearly 70 million meals are served each day in U.S. restaurants, we could possibly save more than 26 million gallons of water if only one person in four declined the complimentary glassful.* Please ask for water in restaurants only if you plan to drink it and help Palo Alto with its water conservation efforts.
