Dear Sir,

I refer to your request dated 2nd May 2009 and can inform you that during
the financial year of April 2008 to March 2009, the amount spent by
Birmingham City Council on bottled water was as follows:-
18.5Ltr Bottles = £51,070.71
11.0Ltr Bottles = £ 2,272.29

These figures exclude any amount spent by schools as the Schools' budgets
are outside of the control of the City Council.

decision, you are entitled to make a request for an internal review/appeal.
Such review will be undertaken by Council Officers not involved in the
