From A A Wisley....

Usually I refill my 15 litre water-cooler bottles at the local shop. It is just ordinary tap water from the mains. The 15 litre water bottles supplied by supermarkets also contain, basically, just mains water. I suspect (based on Coca Cola doing exactly this in London) that cheap non gassy bottled water is also just mains water but with added nasty chemicals leached from the plastic of the bottles. The price differences are, though, astounding.

The cost of water....

● Mains water direct from the Belediyesi, per tonne      20TL

● 15 litre refills (including new caps), per tonne         1,333TL

● 15 litre bottles from supermarkets, per tonne          6.467TL

● 1.5 litre bottles of still water, per tonne                    13,333TL

The gross mark-up on 1.5 litre bottles of water (sourced from the mains) is 66,000%. That’s a pretty good margin which relies entirely on our laziness and empty headedness.

But that profit is not enough for me. I think I can do better than 66,000%! Just you wait until it rains.
