Default Bottled water on tube

Is that motivated purely by H&S considerations or (being cynical)
could it be that bottled water can be charged for (and therefore
someone can make a profit out of those sales) whereas a water
fountain cannot easily be made profitable?


As a side thought, I think I am right in saying that in
restaurants in France, a bottle of water has to be paid for, but
if you ask for a jugful they are prohibited by law from charging.


I'm pretty sure that in the UK you can ask for tap water and they have
to give you it free.
