Cavaliers remove water fountains

Thirsty basketball fans cheering on the players with cavaliers jerseys won’t see them untill the next time they want a sip of water.

All drinking water fountains have been canceled from Quicken Loans Arena to reduce the spread of bacteria and communicable diseases. he fountains were removed in November, said team spokesman Tad Carper. Fans who want a drink of water can now get a 9-ounce cup for free at the concession stand or pay $4 for bottled water.

“I haven’t been able to find anything in the whole H1N1 world that says water fountains are a concern,” Carroll said. The fountain water is funny but not that safe.
