In Toronto, I currently pay $2.28 per cubic metre for water delivered right into my house. I am sure the YVR price is not hugely different.

Exactly what is it about buying all that water that you find to be such a good deal at over 50 times the readily available price (not to mention shipping it from YEG to YVR)?

I was thinking that this water is cheaper than what Culligan will offer, and it is of comparable quality. When you are paying $5.99/5 gallons or 18.9 L of water, and this is much cheaper than that, then I would buy it.
That's what my boss pays for the water in the cooler anyways.....
14.166*18.9=$2.68/5 gallons or 18.9 L.
