Sounds like the energy drink Coka Cola make called NOS even packaged to look like a NOS bottle.

Have you guys ever tried Propel/?

I live on that stuff. I get the 16.9 ounce bottles and then I get the powdered refill packs that are specifically measured for the 16.9 ounce bottles. I get the refill water from the Clovis water store.

I've never tried it. I used to tease my daughter about it when she brought it home. I told her the name "Propel" sounded like it should be a laxative.

Clovis has a water store? I don't think I have ever seen a water store.

Yeah, you walk in there you'll see a stainless steel counter with a grate that drains the excess water and a whole row of long neck faucets for filling up your bottles. Behind the wall is a room full of tanks and water conditioning equipment.

Could you imagine the Snap-on truck selling drinks?

Like a mechanic would ever buy a drink or food off a truck that just pulls up to the backdoor. That would be insane.

Oh, wait a minute... :headscrat

I think it is right across the mall from the Scotch tape store.:)

So, do you bring in gallon jugs? How much does it cost?

Do they have different grades of water?

Sorry for the questions...I have obviously seen the water vending machines at the supermarket, but I have never seen a retail business dedicated to selling water. I find the concept fascinating.:beer:

You bring your own jugs or they have some there to sell you. This water is no where near what you'd get at a supermarket machine; this water is delicious! They have a whole room full filtering equipment and plumbing going back and forth to all the different stages of filtering. The cost is $0.25 a gallon.

I regularly buy cases of bottled spring water at the store in small bottles for about $4 for a case of 24. It supposedly comes from an actual spring near Mt. Shasta.

I have also seen the higher prices on some of the brands, including the Coke & Pepsi versions.

I am becoming concerned about the quality of my well water for drinking due to a variety of factors, although it's probably a little late to start worrying, as I have been drinking it for 22 years.

I can't tell if you're joking or not. :confused:

Mt. Shasta is more like Mt. St. Tap Water. A lot of bottled water is standard municipal tap water with no additional filtration. Instead of being sent into the main distribution system, it gets bottled. One of the Chicago TV News investigative reports was about bottled water and how it's such a ripoff.

I just got my water bill today. $19.11 for 5,000 gallons. Add in sewer ($16.24), trash collection ($15.09), hydrant surcharge ($3.80), and sales tax ($1.34) and the total bill is about $56. Makes me curious what other people pay a month for water and sewer. We use the ice and water dispenser on our refrigerator all the time. It takes a $39 filter which gets replaced about once a year give or take.

According to Crystal Geyser, their water is bottled at the spring source, I dunno.

I don't pay anything for water, except for the power I use to pump it out of the ground. No sewers or fire hydrants here. Trash collection is $23/mo.

I'm on spring water in the beautiful Pennines - but there's a thing in the deeds that says we can't bottle and sell it on... the builder probably worried we'd go up against Perrier.

Moose - I read somewhere that every cup of water in London has "been through thirteen people" before it comes out of the tap...

That's nasty.
