The vast majority of the teaming population drinks pure water. I drink it, you drink it, and indeed the overwhelming majority of the people drink pure water. These are the reason why it is one of the growing and lucrative businesses besides information technology.

The pure water production business is very lucrative. That is what you often hear; I’m not disputing that, but do you know that many are also failing in this business. In this post, you will get all the nitty-gritty that will make you succeed as a pure water manufacturer.

Fueled by the high-profit margins and the accessibility of water supplies in the United States, huge multinationals have jumped on the bottled water bandwagon.

  • Is your end-user looking for purified, infused, spring, or sparkling water?
  • Are they concerned with the environment?
  • Are they grabbing a quick drink or carrying their water with them throughout the day?

Once you have answers to these crucial questions, you can start to dig deep into exactly what it takes to start a water bottling plant.

How much does it cost to open a water bottling plant?

The buildings themselves have a meager startup cost. Most plants start small or medium-sized, but the structure is essentially the same. You’ll need an open concept, warehouse-style environment. Prefabricated metal buildings are ideal. The steel structure doesn’t need interior columns, leaving the inside of your plant open for assembly line equipment.

Many startups that stay small can use employees rather than heavy equipment to save money in the beginning stages. For the most part, startup costs for a water bottling plant begin around $750,000 and can cost up to $1.5 million or more as the operation’s size increases.

You can expect costs for a license from the FDA and a permit from your state health department. You’ll also need to be connected with a water source and a reputable bottle supplier outside of the plant itself.
