You should buy a proper, preferably aluminium bottle, so that you can boil it. Refilling water bottles can lead to a poorly tummy if you don't boil them - putting the bottle to your lips and your saliva and cells from your mouth can get into the bottle opening and around the neck and they breed quite fast (as anyone who did that mouth swab test at school might tell you. I didn't, but I heard about it...
It's for this reason that I buy a bottle of volvic flavoured stuff at the start of the week, and refill it myself for that week before chucking it in the bin on Friday. I do rinse it out thoroughly with hot water every day, though.
I do this too. Except the rinsing every day thing. Usually after a week they start to taste weird - a bit like rust. I imagine that's EVIL growing on my bottle.
ps: I don't actually buy bottled water at the start of the week - I get coke or something. I just feel ripped off paying for water. Also, I don't have a job to take my water to. BUT STILL.
