A method and apparatus for providing sanitizing water in a cabinet (11) and spigot (26, 27) type bottled water dispenser (10) features an ozone generati ng system (50) to generate ozone for sanitizing the water. Ozone is generated a nd collected within an ozone generator housing (57). A blower (54) transmits ai r to the ozone generator housing (57). The air carries the ozone that is generated through a flow line (38) to an air diffuser (37) that is positione d upstream of the spigot (or spigots) (26, 27) used to dispense water. In one embodiment, a valve (101) that is activated on the spigot (26, 27) to dispen se water also activates the blower (54) and ozone generator (50). In other embodiments, a flow sensor (145) activates the ozone generator (50) and blow er (54). Various spigot (26, 27) and flow sensor (145) arrangements are disclos ed as a part of the overall apparatus and method.
