In between Tampa and Orlando sits a great little town called Zephyrhills. If the name sounds familiar, you may have seen it on our bottled water as our brand name (it’s where we got our start). So sit back, take a sip and we’ll tell you the tale of how we came to be.
The founder of the city of Zephyrhills, H.B. Jeffries, wanted a name as clear as the water there. That’s why he named it Zephyrhills — so people would know they were getting gentle breezes and rolling hills. But the motto, “City of Pure Water,” sums up the city's best feature (in our opinion).
Fast forward about 50 years and about 18,250 sunrises later to when someone had a good idea: bottle the refreshing natural spring water from Zephyrhills to share with the rest of Florida. This put the Zephyrhills® bottled water brand name on labels for the rest of the state to see.
Eventually, we came to own the Zephyrhills bottled water brand, and we wanted to lend a hand to help maintain the beautiful land that inspired our founders. So we partnered with Crystal Spring Foundation to help the Crystal Springs Preserve. The site of our first natural spring water source is now also a 530-acre sanctuary that supports environmental education and the preservation of Florida’s natural environment.
Zephyrhills® Brand Natural Spring Water now comes from five carefully selected Florida spring sources. Whether we’re monitoring it, sharing it or teaching others about it — our main focus is still the fresh-tasting spring water of Florida. And we’re spreading water stewardship by partnering with programs like Crystal Springs Foundation and Water Ventures.
