Bottled water
What’s the criteria for getting a supply of bottled water as we have no water fountain like other nearby sites?

From google https://www.brita.co.uk/news-stories/di ... dispensers.
Whether you are an employer wanting to know the law, or an employee wondering if your employer can prevent you from drinking water at work, it is a legal and basic human right. Employers should be providing safe and clean drinking water, either through bottled water, fountains, or water dispensers.

What you must provide for a safe and healthy workplace
So the first question is does your workplace provide a source of drinking water?Welfare facilities
Workers must have access to:
toilets and hand basins, with soap and towels or a hand-dryer
drinking water
a place to store clothing (and somewhere to change if special clothing is worn for work)
somewhere to rest and eat meals
