From the Paper:

"The Power Company is committed to excellence in every aspect of its operations and core values. From generating and supplying electricity for 2.25 million customers to educating children on electrical safety, the Power Company strives to surpass all expectations from its employees, the communities served, and the various governing bodies of authority. One of the main focal points of the Power Company is its commitment to safety for the employees. With the presence of extreme working conditions, hazards, and remote locations, the Power Company supplies its employees with bottled drinking water. The bottled water is not required by any governing agency, but it is an expense that the Power company deems necessary for the safety and good health of its work force. As each bottle of water is consumed, hidden expenses are created for the company. The concealed expenses that are incurred with each emptied water bottle are in waste disposal and the long-term effects on the environment. Recycling plastic water bottles is a program that the Power Company needs for both economical and environmental solutions."
