Every drop counts: Utah restaurant chain cuts back the automatic water pour SALT LAKE CITY — This week, KSL-TV is exploring simple ways to save water that go beyond how we water our lawns, because every drop counts — especially when 90% of Utah is in extreme drought. Recently, viewer Gaye England emailed the KSL Investigators about the customary practice of restaurants pouring us a glass of water when we sit down, whether we asked for it or not. "I can't help but wonder why restaurants continue to bring complimentary water to everyone's table," England wrote. "So much waste because most who go to restaurants order soda anyway, and the glass of water goes untouched."
