Editor’s note: Because we like to nag, we’re updating this editorial from last month explaining why you don’t need to buy bottled water as part of your hurricane prep if you get municipal water in a city like Charlotte.

This, from Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughn: If you are on city water there is no reason to buy bottled water.
