A bottled water container for a water cooler of the type in which the container is supported upon the water cooler for selective removal and replacement, the bottled water container having a handle straddling a recess located in the body of the container at the intersection of the side wall and the upper end wall of the container body and bridging a gap created by the recess in the peripheral edge along the intersection of the side wall and the upper end wall of the container, such that the container is lifted readily by the handle and easily up-ended for facilitating placement of the container in proper position in the water cooler. The handle is hollow and molded separate from the body of the container and is integrated with the container body such that the interior of the handle is isolated from the interior of the container body for ready cleaning of the interior of the container, enabling practical reuse of the bottled water container.
