We have long used Costco for water for our water cooler, but they have just discontinued this product. We don't like the taste of the local water distributor in W. Orange and don't seem to know of other alternatives. Does anyone have a home water delivery service to recommend? Or another source where we can pick up jugs of water? | ||

We buy water from Whole Foods (their brand). I think that it is about $0.60/gallon, which I believe might be even cheaper than Costco. You can buy a box with six bottles in it if you can lift it. | ||

We use Evans water Co. (in part because it's not part of the Poland Springs/Deer Park/Pepsi conglomerate, though those do deliver as well) and are basically happy with it. 201-641-6000 We get 5 gallon jugs delivered. | ||

We have Poland Spring water delivered. 1-800-759-9205. IMHO, the cost is well worth the convenience. We are rather big water drinkers for a family of three - go through about four 5-gallon bottles every three weeks. The service has been very dependable and pleasant. We receive a recorded message the day before delivery, reminding us to leave empty bottles out and checking to see if we would like to change our order. By default, they simply replace the number of empty bottles we leave out. Once we decided to stick with the service, we stopped renting a cooler through the service and bought one via amazon.com - a better deal in the long run. | ||

5 bottles every three weeks. Hah! We do close to six bottles every two weeks! Culligan water, in East Orange (used to be American Eagle Water) charges $3.95 for 5 gallons of distilled and spring. If you can go and pick it up during the week there's just the one time bottle deposit, just bring back your empties, pay, and they will load the new bottles into your car. To have it delivered is about $5 or so more per bottle. The cost savings is pretty good to do the pickup yourself. I agree on the cooler, we picked up a sunbeam model at Home Depot for around $90 with hot, cold and room temperature. | ||

Why not buy a good filtering system? | ||

We use Glacier Mountain Spring Water. They're affordable, are pretty dependable in terms of delivery times and their water actually tastes good (we've found Poland Spring has an odd taste). They have a website - www.glaciermountain.com. I would recommend them. | ||
