OUR STORY

Family-owned at the base of the Ruby Mountains since 1991

For more than three decades, our family has bottled water from a natural spring in Jiggs, Nevada, and delivered it to homes, businesses and mines across Northern Nevada.

OUR HISTORY

From one spring to more than 2,000 customers

  1. Before 1991

    Family roots in Jiggs.

    The ranch and spring had been in the family for generations before Bob Reed started the spring water business.

  2. April 1991

    Bob starts the water business.

    Bob Reed founded Ruby Mountain Natural Spring Water, supplying water to nearby mines with deliveries made by pickup and flatbed.

  3. Growing routes.

    Homes and businesses joined the routes. Service spread across Northern Nevada, from Wendover to Lovelock.

  4. Winnemucca.

    We added our Winnemucca location to serve Winnemucca, Battle Mountain and the surrounding area, alongside our Spring Creek office.

  5. Today.

    More than 2,000 customers, two offices and the same spring in Jiggs. We're still family-owned and operated.

Bob and his Model A

Bob had a dream of taking a Model A into parades to advertise Ruby Mountain Springs. In 2023, he got to do just that.

Bob passed away in October 2024. This photo is a special reminder of him and the water business he started.

THE SOURCE

The spring behind our water

Our 3- and 5-gallon spring and purified water still comes from our spring in Jiggs. While many bottlers use city water, ours comes from a naturally flowing spring and is tested every week.
