Harrogate Spring Water is a private limited company incorporated on 16 August 2000 which manufactures plastic and glass bottled spring water, from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, England and distributes its bottles all over the world. Spa waters were first discovered in Harrogate in the 16th century, with water bottled in glass only the town from the 1740s.

Sources

The main spring is sourced from an aquifer in the millstone grit series, below the Harrogate Pinewoods. The Thirsty Planet brand takes water from an aquifer located in sand and gravel.

History

Founded in August 2000, initially under the name HSW Limited, the product was launched in January 2002. Harrogate Spa Water manufactures bottled water and sells it locally, nationally and internationally, being exported to as far away as Australia.

A change in majority share owner distribution was made during 2020 resulting in Danone becoming the majority holder, displacing the Cain family from their ownership.

The company was previously owned by Harrogate Water Brands, which also owned the charity Thirsty Planet, producing its own brand of bottled water.

In 2021, a plan to expand the bottling plant over an area of woodland was criticised by Harrogate residents because Harrogate Spring Water sought to destroy an area of established woodland and natural habitat planted previously by volunteers and local primary school children.
