Fixed costs for bottled water ?

I've got a school assignment to make marketing plan for new brand of bottled water. I made a quick calculation that if we would have market share of 1% we should make 730000 water bottles (that's 0.5l pet bottles) per year. I found some data to figure out what would be variable costs, but I cannot find anything about fixed costs. So perhaps someone can give me rough idea what it would cost to run plant with that kind of output ?

Update:

I'm not trying to actually start manufacturing anything, so let's stick to good old idea that we do everything ourselves. I need to calculate unit cost, so I can come up with what price and market share we want to get revenue output

    You're looking at the wrong way to start your new "brand", you should have an existing plant bottle and private-label your water for you. That way the capital outlay will be substantially reduced. If the brand does well, then consider your own building plant.
