Watermill Express

Because I work outside most of the day the taste of cool refreshing pure water ranks high on my list of important things. Back in 2003 I use to carry a bunch of 12oz eco-​unfriendly bottles in a cooler. It worked but it was a lot of waste. At the time a guy from my work crew suggested I just reuse a gallon container like he did and refill it at a Watermill. I thought that was a little ghetto at first but it did save bottles.
At the time I think it was .25 or .30 cents a gallon for decent quality water. I was hooked and we hit that location on a daily basis filling up early in the mornings. Then the Landscapers came! Freaking Landscapers. The thing about Landscapers is they travel in packs of 5 to 8 guys. And their Landscaper mobile is much like a clown car packed full of thirsty hombres. And they carry multiple 5 gallon Gott water coolers. We were always out numbered so if the Landscapers arrived before or after we did it would be tough luck getting water, cuz Landscapers are highly territorial and extremely aggressive.
We tried to change the times but it didn’t matter. Once the word got out all the landscapers in the area would mob the place. Well it was good while it lasted. The Summer was mostly over by then and so was our need for gallons of water. We got filtered water at our shop the following summer, so we never used the watermills anymore. It had been almost 10 years since I had used one so I tried it the other day. The price was .35 cents a gallon. A nickel increase over decade not bad. This location was clean but I’ve seen Hobo’s washing up at other locations. If you don’t have filtered water at work or home I would suggest stopping here and giving it a try.

Because I am an avid water drinker and lover.
For a couple of years, I used to always tell my hunny how much I loved the watermills. How the water is so clean and pure tasting. Just a much better taste than bottled water. All water does not taste the same. So when we stopped buying water filters and purifiers and went with the water cooler and 5 gallon jugs I was happy.
This watermill express is pretty new and you can tell. They offer ice at this location (10lbs for $ 1.50) however since I can get ice at Sam’s club for $ 1.89 for 20lbs I have yet to try the ice.
This location does not overfill your bottles like some of the other watermill expresses. It has an automatic dispenser per size you choose. Which IMO makes it faster, cleaner, simpler.
$ 0.35 for one gallon. $ 1.50 for 5 gallons and something in between but I can never remember.
