the U.S. at the following link. Prices of bottled water in Austria,
England, Italy and Switzerland are also provided.

That link is excellent - I love the global aspect!  Thank You.  You've
helped me before & your work was great. I suppose we could go deeper
with this question and then ask for data on the average prices of
bottled water destributed in the West Coast of the United States vs.
The East Coast... or the inner city vs. rural areas and maybe try to
determine at what price point a new distributer might want to enter
the market at.

Dear Genabean,

I did additional research and I didn't come across average prices of
bottled water for the West Coast vs.the East Coast, or the inner city
vs. rural areas or what price point a new distributer might want to
enter the market at.

It seems that such specific data can be found in a commercial market report.
