Hi,

Brand new to the area and looking for a place to refill my 5 gal water jugs inexpensively. Not interested in having water delivered. In past places I've lived, grocery stores have had dispensers, and there've been dispensers in parking lots, as well as water stores, but I haven't been able to locate anything near California yet...any suggestions?

Thanks!

Just stick your jug in the river to fill it up. The water is nice and cold this time of year.

So, what you're saying is you want bottled water but you don't want to pay for it? I assume you mean drinking water so can you hook up a hose to your kitchen sink and refill it that way? I've never heard of free water dispensers at grocery stores or water stores for that matter. What planet are you from again? :lol:

I've never heard of this either, but the OP did say inexpensively, not free. :shrug:

It didn't say free... it said inexpensive... Going to a flling station instead of having it delivered would be less expensive for may reasons.

You need to get out more! In most places there are machines that fill the reusable containers with filtered water. It does cost money, but is cheaper and more environmentally friendly than purchasing single use bottles of water.

I've never heard of them because I don't drink jug water. Perhaps you could make yourself useful and direct your answer to the OP with details on the locations of these refill stations. If you really want to be environmentally friendly and economical, wouldn't it be better to just install a whole-house filter or single filter on your sinks and eliminate the plastic bottles altogether? Those big jugs will wind up in a landfill too someday. :shrug:
