That is not water per se.  At the last clinic we did in Flint in September
those bags were everywhere and the sales rep who supplied them said
the water had been treated in some form.  I don't remember exactly how
she said they were enhanced but they weren't just plain water.

The place has somewhere around 70 stalls and there weren't enough
flies to even say there were any.
