You joke.

But there are people that buy tankers of Evian and other 'high end' water to use through their plumbing.

It wouldn't surprise me if they run it all through a water softener too.

That sounds impossibly expensive; I'm sure there's some of the super-rich that do it, but it sounds more like a glossy story than something ubiquitous.

I would believe it if they "just" got tankers of clean water from elsewhere though. Plenty of people that have to survive off of water from tankers.

In Las Vegas, they have plumbing for booze.

Basically it's more practical to keep the booze in the back of the casino and plumb it into a network of bars, instead of keeping track of which bar is running out.

Particularly when a single casino may have a hundred bars.

Most places keep the kegs in a centralised location and pipe it around, whatever the size. I'd be surprised if the US were much different.

You don't want delivery men rolling barrels around hotels etc, and you want to keep the beer cool. Plus bar space tends to be at a premium.

They have beer pipes in Belgium, too.

From a brewery in the historical center of Bruges to the outskirts IIRC. Which allows a working business better transport links so it can stay in the center to help avoid the city becoming completely Disneyland.

I find this hard to believe. Got a link?

[suvelx]

Unfortunately not.

The only evidence I can provide is I once knew the groundskeeper for a group of properties owned by the super rich. One of his responsibilities was accepting the deliveries.

These properties were in a built up residential area.
