Pure drinking water is a popular beverage, particularly for those who are health conscious or who have limited access to non treated drinking water through their community water system. In addition to the health aspects of pure drinking water is the convenience it offers, as it is typically distributed in easily carried bottles or jugs. The demand for pure drinking water has created new opportunities for small-business owners who want to get into water sales and promotion.
