Yes it's relatively cheap - but not really cheap compared to Europe. In France and Germany you can get a 1.5l of water for around 0.2 EUR which is roughly HKD 2. That's not Evian or Vittel or Watsons, but in Watson's you might have to pay at least HKD 3 for 0.5l of water.

A lot of people in Hong Kong can't afford that.

I think a big problem is the empty bottles - people throw away so many of them each day and it creates a lot of rubbish.

This is one of the main drawbacks of living in Hong Kong according to Mr. Nacho. He likes cold water from the tap.
