Wow, lots of anti-water people coming out in the comments. Bizarre.
Our family goes through a 5 gallon jug in less than a week. I have a few jugs, which I'll refill a few times, and then the local grocery store or Walmart has a thing where you can drop off old jugs to replace with new ones, sterilized and pre-filled with fresh water. (Clearly this is a thing many other people are doing since the infrastructure exists, even though it's never advertised and I never see other people doing it.)
There is literally no health risk involved here. Yes, I go to refill or replace jugs every two weeks or so. Not a big deal. Easier than buying soda or smaller bottles of water, IMO.
Edit: We used to use Britas but that was honestly more hassle than just dealing with the jugs.
