Don't know about the state of CA, but the city of SF banned water bottles and water coolers (favoring tap water) within city government buildings. Makes sense plus SF water is great.

"banned" in what sense? If I walk into city hall carrying a bottle of water, can I be arrested?

Or, did they just take water out of the vending machines and cancel water cooler contracts for the peons?

The latter. The gov't will no longer provide water coolers or bottled water as tap water is acceptable and available.
