    We’ve got something similar.

    Any place that serves alcohol must offer free water.

    Sometimes you need to explicitly ask for tap water, to ensure its the free stuff.

      Ugh, I hate this. So annoying to order water only to be given a bottle of it that’s somehow 4$. If I wanted to pay 4$ I would’ve at least ordered a real drink, bottled water often isn’t better than tap anyways.

      You must not be in America. Was thinking the other day that they no longer automatically bring you ice water before taking your drink order. No idea when that changed, but it used to be expected at every sort of restaurant.

        Are you in a place affected by drought? Whenever the water situation gets bad in California, they make the restaurants not give water unless requested.
