We all know the rule—no liquids past the security checkpoint except those in 3-1-1 bags and under 3 oz. 

But what about those of us who want to bring a bottle of water on board? Well, we can pay the $6,000 required at any of the shops past security for a small two gulp bottle or we can try, underline try, to find a water fountain. (Good luck.)

But SFO is changing that. They’ve begun to  install water bottle refilling stations throughout the airport past the security checkpoints. 

The airport hopes this will cut down on the number of plastic bottles thrown away and will encourage passengers to take the empty one through security and reuse them.
