Desert Springs Bottled Water Co., LLC is a small, family owned business that was established in 1996. Originally the site was the business location of Oregon Trail Honey Farms, LLC. The water is from a well that was drilled by the Oregon Trail Honey company 25 years ago for their honey production plant. The well source is artesian and its discovery is due to the diligence of three elderly gentlemen and their skills of 'witching' the property for water. The first gentleman used copper rods and when he came to the well site the rods crossed. The second gentleman used a wishbone green willow stick and when he came to the well site the stick twisted in his hands pointing towards the ground. The third gentleman also walked the property, and when he came to the well site his knees knocked together. They were unaware of the others’ findings and still arrived at the same site. Each of these gentlemen received a gallon of honey for their services. When the well was drilled it went through 50 feet of loam soil and 250 feet of solid basalt rock. After breaking through the rock a river of water was discovered that produced 250 gallons per minute which was the maximum that the well diggers monitoring equipment could register. The water from the aquifer remains at a constant temperature of 50 - 55 degrees Fahrenheit. The rumor is that this huge flowing river-like aquifer is straight out of the Blue Mountains. In 1994 after the continuous prodding of a close relative on how pure and clean the water was, the water was tested. The test results received from the state registered lab were excellent. So in 1996 Desert Springs delivered its first bottle of Desert Springs Bottled Water to Scott Cimmiyotti, better known as Scott’s Cycle Shop.
