Baltimore schools opt for bottled water

The Baltimore city school system is abandoning 15 years of efforts to remove the lead in its water fountains and will instead provide bottled water in coolers to all schools.

Schools chief Andres Alonso says it will be cheaper to provide bottled water to all schools than to continue lead testing.
