Running out of water at a business is more than an inconvenience — it interrupts staff, customers, and in some cases clinical or production work. This guide explains how office and business water delivery works across the Greater Toronto Area: the service options available, how much water a workplace actually needs, what to look for in a supplier, and how Puretap supplies GTA businesses from our Mississauga facility. Puretap has delivered water to GTA offices, clinics, and shops since 1986.
Why every GTA business needs a water plan
Clean drinking water is a workplace expectation. A reliable supply keeps staff hydrated and productive, gives customers and patients a good impression, and — for clinics, labs, and food businesses — is often a hygiene or operational requirement. The question is rarely whether a business needs water, but how to get it delivered reliably without contracts, markups, or missed drop-offs.
Business water service options
Most GTA workplaces use one or more of the following:
- 18L (5-gallon) cooler bottles. The standard office water-cooler format. Bottles are delivered on a schedule and empties are collected for reuse.
- Cooler subscriptions with a dispenser. A recurring delivery of bottles bundled with a water dispenser, so the cooler is always stocked. Ideal for offices and waiting rooms. Our water cooler and dispenser guide explains the options.
- 4L cases. Easy-to-handle bottles for lunchrooms, smaller offices, and staff who prefer a portable size.
- Bulk and deionized water. Larger drums for clinics, labs, and manufacturers that need volume or mineral-free water for equipment.
- Direct pickup. For businesses near our Mississauga facility, direct pickup is available with no minimum.
How much water does an office need?
A useful planning figure is roughly 1.5 to 2 litres of drinking water per person per working day, including water used for coffee and tea. From there you can estimate a workplace’s needs:
- Small office (10 people): about 15 to 20 litres per day, or roughly one to two 18L bottles per day depending on coffee and tea use.
- Mid-size office (25 people): about 40 to 50 litres per day — plan for two to three 18L bottles daily, or a weekly standing delivery of cooler bottles.
- Large workplace (50+ people): a scheduled multi-bottle delivery, often several times per week, sized to your actual usage.
These are starting estimates. The most reliable approach is to begin with a conservative standing order and adjust after the first few weeks once real usage is clear. Puretap routes are flexible, so increasing or reducing your delivery is simple.
Industries we supply across the GTA
Different businesses need different water. Common Puretap business customers include:
- Dental clinics — distilled water for autoclaves and dental units, plus cooler water for the waiting room.
- Medical and dialysis facilities — bulk deionized and distilled water for equipment and clinical use.
- Gyms and fitness studios — high-volume drinking water for members.
- Restaurants, cafes, and Italian delis — clean water for service, plus our Casa d’Iorio premium imports where relevant.
- Offices and co-working spaces — cooler subscriptions with bundled dispensers.
- Manufacturers and automotive shops — bulk distilled water for industrial processes and batteries.
- Labs and testing facilities — mineral-free water for accurate, repeatable results.
Delivery or pickup — which is right for your business?
Delivery suits most businesses: bottles arrive on a set schedule, empties are collected, and nobody on staff has to leave to fetch water. Delivery is free within the GTA on standard orders. Direct pickup from our Mississauga warehouse suits businesses nearby that prefer to collect on their own schedule, and it carries no minimum order. Many customers use a mix — scheduled delivery for the bulk of their supply, with occasional pickup when they need extra.
What to look for in a GTA water supplier
Not all water suppliers are equal. Before signing up, consider:
- Local production. Water produced locally is fresher and supported by a supplier who knows your area. Puretap distils water at 950 Verbena Road in Mississauga — not at a contract plant hundreds of kilometres away.
- Independent lab testing. Ask whether the supplier publishes third-party lab results. Puretap tests every production run through an independent laboratory and publishes the results.
- No long-term contracts. Many suppliers lock businesses into 12 or 24-month agreements. Puretap does not — you can pause, change, or cancel at any time.
- Reliable routes. A supplier whose own drivers know their routes is far less likely to miss a delivery than a national chain using third-party logistics.
- Reasonable minimums. Puretap requires a minimum of three items per delivery, lower than most GTA suppliers, with no minimum on direct pickup.
Why no contracts matters
A water supply should earn your business every delivery, not trap it. Puretap offers month-to-month service and one-time orders with no cancellation fees and no hidden charges. If your headcount changes, your season changes, or your needs change, your water service changes with you. That flexibility is especially valuable for growing businesses and seasonal operations.
