Does staffs get free water at your workplace?

[Frank]

I'm one of biggest advocators that supports for water not to be sold. The government should try and finance it in their budget but unfortunately it's not yet come into reality. Although, where I used to work, staffs usually get free water because there's a water dispenser provided by the company.

Does your workplace make such provisions for workers?

I am staying in a area where getting water is pretty expensive. This means that the company won't give you access to free water that you can drink. There is access to water for office use though, but the source of water is never clean for drinking purposes.

It is always very important to make sure that the water you are drinking is very good because there is a lot of health complication that you're going to have if you drink just anyhow water. So, if it is something that is very expensive for your company to provide for, I believe you can have an arrangement to be coming to the office with your own water from your home.

Most offices I know provide free water. The idea of water being free is very valid. However, if the implements for that aren't free from the grassroots, water can never be free. Starting from the processing of water to become safe. From coagulation to disinfection. Some of these aspects are whole businesses on their own. In the end, offices still have to buy water before making it free for employees.

It could be very difficult to provide water dispenser in hospitals as the number of people who visit are much. The best they could do is provide tap water that are also clean and portable..

There are so many people who don't drink tap water and for that reason if it's the only kind of for the provision that has been made in their workplace, it is always going to be very difficult or impossible for them to drink it. This is why they will still be forced to buy their own water or come with their own water from their home.

I work for a non-state company, so I have free water for all my colleagues, although I know a friend who works in a similar job, but their water is paid for, although the prices are not very high, about 10 cents per glass, although for my country, I would not say that it is not enough if a person wants to drink 10 cups a day

Yes we have a free water machine that we can use whenever we want to, I support free water I mean you want your employees to be healthy and not thirsty, you want them to feel and work well with no worries.
It feels a bit greedy to ask people to pay for a damn water source because it is a natural human need why would they charge us for that? Have we reached this point water costs money and where we work? To me it doesn't make any sense..
