Cost of ownership comparison between a Mains-Fed and Bottled Water Dispenser

While there may still be some situations where a Bottled Water Dispenser is ideal (e.g. where there is no access to mains water, or in a Portacabin where plastic pipes could freeze and split during the winter) there is little justification. Just to emphasise the point, here is a simple cost comparison between the two different types. Obviously the following cost comparison is based on prices at time of writing, but I believe the conclusion speaks for it's self.

The numbers are typical industry averages and aren’t based on any particular model or manufacturer.

Let’s use the example of an office with 20 employees:

Assumptions

Each Water Dispenser will serve 20 employees

Bottled water is supplied in 19 litre containers

10 employees consume approximately 1 bottle per week

Rental and sanitisation cost of a typical bottled Water Dispenser - £ 84.00

Number of 19 litre bottles per week (based on 10 employees per bottle) - 2

Typical cost of bottle - £ 5.50

Cost per litre of water on metered supply - £ 0.0013*

Premises on a Water Meter (worst case scenario)

Therefore:

Bottled Water Dispenser Cost

Total Cost for water supplied in bottles in a year = £ 5.50 x 2 x 52 = £ 572.00

Total Cost for Water Dispenser and water in First Year = £ 84 + £ 57 2= £656.00

Total Cost for Water Dispenser and water over Three Years = £ 1968.00

Mains-Fed Water Dispenser costs:

Installation Cost FREE

Annual rental and maintenance cost - £ 312.00

Cost of water from metered supply = £0.001 x 2,000 litres = £ 2.00

Total cost for Mains-Fed Water Dispenser in First Year - £ 314.00

Total Cost for Mains-Fed Water Dispenser over Three Year - £ 942.00

Now compare the two sets of figures in the Table below:

Bottled Water Dispenser Mains Fed Dispenser

Total Cost for First Year:

Bottled Water Dispenser = £656.00

Mains Fed Dispenser = £314.00

Total Cost for Three Years:

Bottled Water Dispenser - £1,968.00

Mains Fed Dispenser = £942.00

Saving:

Year 1 - £342

Year 3 - £1026

As you can see, in a three year period, the cost advantage of Mains-Fed Water Dispensers is enormous ! N.B. This doesn’t include the environmental costs of transporting and eventually disposing of over 250 plastic bottles!

On the Water $15.99 “I take a stroke and lean back, gazing up into the jet skies, bejeweled by the moon and the galaxies of stars. The hull glides in silence and with such perfect balance as to report no motion. I sit up for another stroke, now looking down as the blades ignite swirling pairs of white constellations of phosphorescent plankton. Two opposing heavens. ‘Remember this,’ I think to myself.” Few people have ever considered the eastern United States to be an island, but when Nat Stone began tracing waterways in his new atlas at the age of ten he discovered that if one had a boat it was possible to use a combination of waterways to travel up the Hudson River, west across the barge canals and the Great Lakes, down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, and back up the eastern seaboard. Years later, still fascinated by the idea of the island, Stone read a biography of Howard Blackburn, a nineteenth-century Gloucester fisherman who had attempted to sail the same route a century before. Stone decided he would row rather than sail, and in April 1999 he launched a scull beneath the Brooklyn Bridge to see how far he could get. After ten months and some six thousand miles he arrived back at the Brooklyn Bridge, and continued rowing on to Eastport, Maine. Retracing Stone’s extraordinary voyage, On the Water is a marvelous portrait of the vibrant cultures inhabiting American shores and the magic of a traveler’s chance encounters. From Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where a rower at the local boathouse bequeaths him a pair of fabled oars, to Vanceburg, Kentucky, where he spends a day fishing with Ed Taylor -- a man whose efficient simplicity recalls The Old Man and the Sea -- Stone makes his way, stroke by stroke, chatting with tugboat operators and sleeping in his boat under the stars. He listens to the live strains of Dwight Yoakum on the banks of the Ohio while the world’s largest Superman statue guards the nearby town square, and winds his way through the Louisiana bayous, where he befriends Scoober, an old man who reminds him that the happiest people are those who’ve “got nothin’.” He briefly adopts a rowing companion -- a kitten -- along the west coast of Florida, and finds himself stuck in the tidal mudflats of Georgia. Along the way, he flavors his narrative with local history and lore and records the evolution of what started out as an adventure but became a lifestyle. An extraordinary literary debut in the lyrical, timeless style of William Least Heat-Moon and Henry David Thoreau, On the Water is a mariner’s tribute to childhood dreams, solitary journeys, and the transformative powers of America’s rivers, lakes, and coastlines.
