In the apartment there is a big water cooler, which holds 20 liters (a little over 5 gallons) of water.  We ran out yesterday, so today when Vanda, the land lady came by with our new, working, telephone, we told her that it was empty and she called to get another one brought to us.  We have the number here, but asking for a delivery next time we run out should be interesting. 

The guy with the new water was here in 10 or 15 minutes.  He brought the container to the sink, scrubbed it down and rinsed it off, then cut off the seal and set it in the holder.  The cost was $R 3.50, around $2.00 U.S.  That seems like a pretty good deal to us, especially for the convenience of having cold mineral water right here in the house, delivered to us so that we don't have to lug it from a store to the apartment.
