Natural Mineral Water

The South Downs Water artesian spring is located just outside Chichester, West Sussex. It lies 420ft below ground at the foot of the South Downs National Park.

Our spring was originally opened in 1918 to play a vital part in supplying the Ministry of Defence in WWI. It was subsequently used as an ice factory in 1928 before laying dormant for many years as different businesses used the factory and premises.

The rediscovery of what is now known as the South Downs Water spring didn’t take place until many decades later when a curious employee of what was then a family-owned plastics company asked to look for the well.

During a tea break one day, the employee located the well. Following stringent testing, the South Downs Water Spring was found to be one of the finest, most prestigious Natural Mineral Water sources in the UK.

 

Thanks to the natural chalk filtration system deep within the South Downs, our water is enriched with naturally occurring minerals and is pH neutral. It has a deliciously pure and refreshing taste with absolutely nothing added or taken away.
