What is a "notification"?

A notification is a message to you asking if you need water. We can notify you via email or text. If you need a delivery, you must respond. If you need a specific amount or do not want all the empty jugs replaced, please note that in your response. A response without details means we either swap the number of jugs you have out or deliver the minimum. No response means you wish to be skipped and we do not come to your delivery address. Please note: we cannot receive pictures via text.

What is your policy on tipping?

While tipping is not expected, it is allowed and very much appreciated by your drivers!

WATER JUG AND COOLERS:

Where should I store my empty jugs?

Somewhere clean and safe from the elements. If there are any foreign objects in the jug or the jug freezes, we will not be able to reuse them, thus forfeiting your deposit.

My jug has a crack and is leaking, what do I do?

Do not put the jug on your dispenser! Please tape a piece of paper to the top of the jug stating it is leaking. You can empty the jug in the meantime.

Why did I lose my deposit on a jug?

If the jug is damaged, frozen, dirty, contains foreign objects, etc., you will lose your deposit. If we cannot reuse the jug, you will not receive credit.

What do I do if my jug freezes?

The best thing to do is to not let it freeze. Store jugs inside out of the elements. If your jug does freeze, let it defrost in a water safe spot and then mark the jug as frozen. DO NOT PUT IT ON YOUR DISPENSER! If a jug freezes, it will break so we can no longer use it and you will forfeit your deposit.

Can I rent a cooler?

Yes! We have options...call us! As an added bonus, if you pay for a year, you get two months FREE.

My cooler is not working properly, what do I do?

Please do not attempt to work on the rental. Just contact us and we will come swap it with a fresh rental so you have no gap in service.

My cooler seems to be leaking, what do I do?

It is likely that you have a damaged jug. Please remove the jug and try a new one. If that fixes the leak, please mark the damaged jug with a piece of paper

Can I return my water?

Unfortunately, once the water leaves our possession, we cannot take it back. You can return the jug for the deposit credit though.
