Abstract: A water dispensing apparatus includes a source water pipe, a sterilizing water module connected to the source water pipe and configured to and generate sterilizing water, a sterilizing water pipe connected to the sterilizing water module and configured to provide the sterilizing water generated by the sterilizing water module to a user, a flow rate sensor disposed at the source water pipe, a power supply configured to apply a voltage to an electrode of the sterilizing water module, a current detector configured to detect a current value output from the electrode of the sterilizing water module based on the voltage being applied to the electrode of the sterilizing water module, and a controller configured to set a target current value of the sterilizing water module based on at least one of flow rate information detected by the flow rate sensor or the current value detected by the current detector.
