The San Manuel Bottled Water Group was founded in December 2001 as part of a federal charter granted to the San Manuel Band of Mission Indians in their pursuit of tribal business diversification. Committed to providing the purest water available, the San Manuel Bottled Water Group embarked on their mission to share the same crisp, refreshing and clean-tasting water that the Native American people have enjoyed for centuries.

The isolated springs have laid untouched by modern civilizations, preserved on Native American land by a people who live in harmony with nature every day. Taken directly from the source deep beneath the California mountains where it has been protected from the outside world, Big Bear Mountain Premium Spring Water originates from clusters of active springs, once known as the Fig Tree Springs, which date back to the earliest records of California’s rich history.
