You should see what they pay to buy water to drill O&G wells.

I know 2 people that got big bucks draining private lakes they owned.

I asked about the fish and both owners were like "Screw those fish, I can restock when its done."

One guy sold his water, the day they finished it rained 9 inches and damn near filled the thing back up.

No but I've seen them, I think you are paying for the pressure to fill them. I personally use Nitrogen.

They purify the water. They don't sell you bottled up algae and bacteria.

I see where you have to work to product those. The water thing is just like walking around sucking up money out of puddles.

OP probably wonders why people kill animals to eat, instead of buying meat at the grocery store.

Do they charge to refill those?
If someone has hook up to the tank and refill it and there's a location that houses the tanks and someone hawks to put the oxygen into the pressurized tanks then yeah, I'm assuming they're not all doing that as a hobby so there is an associated cost

how is it legal for me to just find a pond and fill up some bottles and sell them


That is not legal, why do you think that it is?

I just can't grasp the concept. It's like selling air.


Wait, you think that people and companies don't receive a bill for the water they use?

Do you have a problem with a company selling dirt or sod or gravel or sand?

I used to work with an older guy (RIP Harold) and the concept of buying bottled water just blew him away.

This is a retarded argument.

You can drink out of any lake, river, bayou, etc., that you want for free.

it is illegal. you can sell cups or ice but not water.

EDIT: I thought this was about domestic sanitary water from a utility.
