Alhambra began in 1902 when the
National Water Company, a subsidiary of the National Ice
and Cold Storage Company, produced and sold distilled water.
In 1945, the National Water Company acquired Alhambra Water
Company of San Francisco. Shortly thereafter, the name was
changed to Alhambra National Water. The Alhambra brand is
primarily available in Northern California.
Native Americans discovered the
pure water of Belmont Springs high on a hill in Belmont,
Massachusetts more than 300 years ago. Almost two centuries
later, Belmont Springs has been established as a favorite
bottled water delivered direct to customers. Belmont Springs
is available throughout New England.
For over 80 years, Crystal Springs
has delivered the finest quality water to homes and offices
across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic and Pacific Northwest.
The source of Crystal Springs can be found in the Chattahoochee
National Forest, within the quiet woodlands west of Ocala,
Florida, and from deep in the earth near Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Otis Hinckley and George J. Schmitt
founded Hinckley Springs in 1888 in Chicago, Illinois. Schmitt,
a pharmacist's assistant, teamed with Hinckley, a route
delivery person for spring water. The two purchased water
from White Rock Corporation to deliver to customers and
eventually started their own water delivery business. Today,
Hinckley Springs is sold throughout the Midwest and is honored
as the official bottled water at many Chicago-area events
and attractions.
In 1963, the founders of Kentwood
Springs Water Company went on a quest for pure water. They
found it in a deep artesian spring in the woods of Kentwood,
Louisiana. Since then, Kentwood has been bottling and
delivering it to homes, offices and retail outlets across
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
Sierra Springs Water Company was
founded in 1950 in Sacramento, California. The high concentration
of health-conscious consumers on the West Coast drove the
expansion of Sierra Springs to markets throughout the Western
U.S., from Texas to Wyoming.
Sparkletts was founded in Los Angeles,
California in 1925. From the beginning the brand has held the
distinction
of being one of the country's finest providers of pure,
refreshing water. Sparkletts is also the official bottled
water of many well-known theme parks and attractions across
Southern California.
