As a matter of general practice, my Department does not purchase individual bottles of water. The practice is to use a filtered system, via the mains water supply, or in the alternative, fresh water dispensers. The cost of supplying water via these dispensers, which incidentally, are being phased out in favour of the filtered system, has varied between approximately €16,000 to €21,000 over the years in question.
