While at least one Australian town, Bundanoon, has also banned bottled water, this is a very significant acceleration of the trend into a young demographic group.
Yes, some other places are doing similar things, but this one is with the support of the retailers on campus.
Afterall, what is wrong with being self reliant and bringing water from home?
