My bottled water situation is getting out of hand. I feel wasteful every time I empty a bottle and have to just put my bottles out on the street. I would like to pay for a water service but I don't know how much I should expect to pay. Can anyone tell me how much money it costs to get one of those water machines or a delivery service? If anyone knows of a great water dealer please let me know.

I hear you! We couldn't bear looking at the plastic stack up day in and day out. We had our director call the water guy, the same one we use at the school. It's soooo cheap and worth it. The first day they deliver the water dispenser which you lease. Total price was 20,000 won. Each 18.9 liter bottle of water is 5,000 won. We have them deliver 6 at a time. that usually last nearly a month for 2 of us (we make lot of coffee )

The biggest crux is getting the ball rolling. ask your director. they might be able to help you. i also found a list of water suppliers on this page: http://www.korea.net/Search/Director...?code=k0010701

We use Dong Won Saem Mool and their less than helpful site can be found here: http://dw.co.kr

Good luck and happy drinking!

Any luck getting the water?

well, no not exactly. The head teacher at my school said she'd be happy to help, but she hasn't had alot of luck getting ahold of anyone. She tracked down a phone number for that company in our area but they never answer the phone at that number. In the meantime I've been taking empty bottles to work and sneak in a refill whenever I can. The surveillance cameras make me nervous though, sure hope the water police don't come after me!!!!
