I wonder if that still apply if you are also down to the last cup of water when you are out in the desert heat.

Carlito: first off Statutory Law is only one type of several types of law that all carry weight and have authority.
And, anybody that would think that the right to drinking water is stupid ~is stupid !
Where do I find this law documented?
Complete BS. No such law can be found in the Arizona Revised Statutes.
I agree – it’s an important law. I take the bus in AZ and last summer a very kind person set out to hand out bottles of ice-cold water to people waiting for the bus just as an act of kindness. Riding the bus for over 5 yrs in AZ I’ve never seen drinking fountains around for the public and at 115 degrees your 1 bottle of water can go fast when commuting by bus for 2hrs each way!
I agree that this is an important law for Arizona’s. As was already stated not all areas in Arizona have abundant water and not all areas are heavily populated. This is not a dumb law and is important to every Arizonan citizen.
you are idiots there are drinking fountains all over the place and everyone carries water besides that may have been true in the 1800’s but now teenagers just use it to be a pain in the ???
not all over the place and its not just teens my son is 11 and we are not idiots
WTF is wrong with you? You obviously have never lived in AZ. There might be drinking fountains everywhere wherever YOU live, but not here. AND not everyone carries water everywhere. What if you forget it? People can actually die without water, you know.
This is a very serious law in Arizona. For example: an 8 year old boy walks into a bar and asks for a glass of water. The bartender refuses and sends him on his way. The boy walks down the street. Soon after, he falls and dies. The bartender, AND the owner of the bar, can be sued and charged for his death, including losing liquor license and/or bar!
Yeah. With temperatures reaching 125 F in the height of summer, denying people water can kill.
This isn’t a stupid law because of the desert climates all over Arizona. The Phoenix and Tucson metro areas are considered oasis areas of Arizona, but even they have limited amounts of water with all the regular plumbing resources.
