With Water Vending Machines, you can now get Pure Potable Water at Railway Stations

With the latest initiative by Indian Railways, passengers can now pay and obtain filtered potable water at railway stations.
Ministry of Railways in an attempt to provide potable water at stations has developed a comprehensive policy to install Water Vending Machines or WVMs.
Passengers can pay, starting from Re. 1 for a glass to Rs. 20 for five litres, to get filtered water. Vending machines will be installed at railway stations across the country.
The water supplied through these machines will be frequently checked (at least once a month) through suitable device by the Health Inspector/ Medical Personnel.
The aim is to provide pure drinking water at cheaper rates than packaged mineral water.
This will be handled by Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and the machines will be installed by authorized agents only. They will be equipped with RO (Reverse Osmosis) technology or any other alternate superior technology.
The transaction of the amount of water and cost will be displayed on a LED screen so that customers can verify their purchase.
