I know! I know!

Multiple bottling plants were shut down because of unsanitary conditions. Those that are operational cannot meet the demand.

do you have a link to show this claim about unsanitary conditions?
I never heard it before.
The explanation I got is that government stopped providing water at subsidized prices so they chose to shut down partially.

water bottling is not expensive to sanitize and i do not think that was the issue. this is the wrong claim. the issue is about subsidized water.
