Inside Culligan: The Journey of Bottled Water from Purification to Your Doorstep
When you call in and request bottled water from Culligan of Oklahoma City, we’ll get it delivered to your doorstep or break room. But have you ever wondered where our water is sourced, how it’s treated and how it makes it to your doorstep? Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at Culligan’s bottled water delivery service.
Where does Mollman’s bottled water come from?
Our water is sourced from our local bottling plant in El Reno, OK. We follow strictly monitored standards set by the International Bottled Water Association (IBWA). Our water undergoes a 5-stage reverse osmosis process, complemented by UV treatment and ozone filtration to eliminate impurities and contaminants, resulting in cleaner, great-tasting water. It is bottled in 3-gallon and 5-gallon jugs and is trucked over to our Oklahoma City location as well as distributed to other Culligan dealers in Oklahoma.
How to Order Bottled Water from Culligan
To purchase our purified bottled water, you can either:
- Visit our Oklahoma City or El Reno locations during regular business hours and purchase water on site or;
- Call or complete a website form to place your bottled water order.
It’s that simple!
Culligan Water Delivery Schedule

You can choose how many bottles of water you would like delivered each time. We can deliver to your home or business – but currently don’t deliver to apartments.

A Day in the Life of a Route Driver
Each day our route drivers load their delivery trucks with bottled water then they hit the road to start making their drop-offs. We use software that helps us map out the best routes based on our customers’ preferences as well as location and hours of operation. However, the logistics of water delivery are very complex and sometimes our drivers can encounter many challenges such as; inclement weather, traffic delays, parking, sick days, and access to the customer. Bottled water delivery is dynamic – it changes constantly as we add new customers to our routes.
Bottled Water Exchange Made Easy
Our route drivers pick up the empty bottles at each stop and replace them with full bottles of water. The empty bottles go on their truck and are unloaded back into our warehouse at the end of the day. Our route drivers do a lot of driving, so you are likely to see them out on the road. Rumor has it if you say, “Hey Culligan!” to one of our drivers, they’ll hand you a bottle of water.
How our Water Bottles get Sanitized
The empty water bottles are taken from our Oklahoma City warehouse back to our El Reno bottling plant. There they will be inspected and sanitized following a strict protocol. Once clean, the fresh bottles will be refilled with great-tasting purified water, loaded and transported all over again! You can feel great knowing you’re reducing plastic waste when you choose Culligan water delivery.
