Bottled water companies can provide you with the ability to keep a constant supply of purified drinking water within your office. Your employees will appreciate this added benefit and a long term contract with a water business can save your from having to pick up cases of water.

To work with a bottle water company, you’ll give them your location and the number of employees in your small business. Then, they’ll inform you of availability of purified water delivery at your office and estimated amount of water you’ll need to sustain your employees.

1. Decide on the type of water for business use you desire. Bottled water manufacturers typically offer spring water and purified drinking water for office delivery.

2. Compare different bottled water suppliers. Get an estimate from each company to help you find the best price in the water business.

3. Place your order and set up delivery on your water for business purposes. After your first purified water delivery, you’ll have a better idea how much water you’ll need each month.

Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Get the best bulk prices from bottled water manufacturers


If you or your employees drink a lot of bottled water, then you likely should purchase bulk orders of your bottled water to save money. You can find companies that give you deep discounts on the larger quantities of water you order from them.

I recommend: Through the Extra Mile site, you can get discounts on bulk orders of bottled water. You can also access special savings through the Eagles Peak water company.

Find out costs from bottled water companies


After looking at the prices offered from the manufacturers of bottled water, you'll want to find out the cost of delivery of the product. To do this, you'll want to find bottled water companies that make regular scheduled deliveries to replenish your office's water supply.

I recommend: On the Water.com site, you can find numerous tools to help you determine the costs of having water delivered on a regular basis to your business. Read about the basics of their delivery service and also use the hydration calculator to correctly determine amount of bottled water you’ll need. Find additional brands of purified drinking water from My Spring Water.

Place your purified drinking water order online


When you decide to hire a water business to provide your office with its drinking water, you'll want to work with a company that allows you to place and manage your orders easily online.

I recommend: Start ordering through multiple water vendors on Office Coffee. If you don’t find anything you like on their site, place and manage your order on Water.com.
