Drinking Fountains Removed From The Q

The home of the Cleveland Cavaliers says it has removed drinking water fountains to prevent the spread of bacteria and illnesses, such as swine flu.

Fans who want a drink of water can get a small cup free at Quicken Loans Arena concession counters or pay $4 for bottled water.

Team spokesman Tad Carper says the fountains were removed in November. He says the team takes advice on such health matters from the National Basketball Association and the International Association of Assembly Managers.

But officials from both organizations say they are not recommending that drinking fountains be removed.
