A water bottle is an essential water containing item in Project Zomboid.

Usage

A water bottle will automatically satiate the player's thirst, so long as it's in the player's main inventory (i.e., not in a bag).

Refilling

The contents will gradually deplete, therefore requiring to be refilled. A water bottle can be filled so long as it isn't full. To refill a water bottle, either:

1. Right-click a water containing item in the player' inventory (e.g., cooking pot with water) and left-click "Pour into" > "Water Bottle".
2. Right-click a water source (i.e., sink, well, rain collector, etc.) and left-click "Fill" > "Water Bottle".

Water from rivers or rain collector barrels will be tainted, causing the player to become sick. It can be boiled in a microwave oven to purify it.

After a random number of days, the waterworks will shut off, requiring the player to survive on scavenged water or what is left in cisterns and house systems.
