Powwow Water Company Ltd was a British company that sold bottled spring water. This water was mainly used for water coolers in homes and businesses. The spring water came from and was bottled in Fillongley, Warwickshire, in the United Kingdom. There was also another place where they bottled water in Chesham.

Powwow Water was a very popular brand of spring water for water coolers across Europe. Many different types of places, from offices to homes, used their water.

History of Powwow Water

Powwow Water was first started in 1990 by a company called Hutchison Whampoa. Later, in 2003, a big company named Nestlé bought the brand. After that, Powwow Water Company Ltd (which used to be called Lomond Hills Water Company) bought it. However, in March 2010, Powwow Water Company Ltd faced financial difficulties and stopped operating in its original form.

After Powwow Water Company Ltd stopped operating, another company called Wild About Water UK Ltd bought parts of the business. They continued to serve customers who had water coolers connected directly to the water supply. The customers who used bottled water coolers were then served by a company called Eden Springs UK.

Powwow Water and the Environment

When Powwow Water was taking water from the ground in Chesham, something important happened to the local environment. The River Chess, which is a small river nearby, completely dried up. It stayed dry until Powwow Water stopped taking water from that area. Within six months of them stopping, the river returned to its normal level.

This was a very unusual event. The River Chess had only dried up one other time, which was for a short period during a very dry spell in 1979. Because of this, in 2005, a local leader named Councillor Justine Fulford worked hard to stop the company from getting permission to take more water. She was worried that it was harming the local environment.
