Spring Water: The Company purchases spring water from Alpine Farms, Inc. under a 40-year purchase
agreement dated November 1, 1995 and modified April 28, 2000. The agreement provides for the sole and
exclusive right to draw water from the source and sell spring water to third parties. The spring is located 17
miles from the bottling facility. At the source, the spring water flows underground and is naturally filtered
through the stratum. The entire system is designed to ensure that this pure spring water remains natural and
unadulterated. Water is then transported by our employees and company tank trucks to BRWC’s bottling
plant in Kiamesha Lake, where it is passed through a series of multimedia particulate filters to remove any
sediment. After treating the water with ozone, an oxygen molecule used to ensure sanitation, the water is
then bottled with its natural mineral content intact.
• Distilled Water: BRWC has two private wells on-site, which provide water that is passed through a
series of multimedia particulate, and activated carbon filters, to remove chlorine, phenols, taste, odor
compounds and organic minerals. The water is then distilled in a vapor compression steam unit. All
dissolved minerals are left behind as the water is vaporized and condensed in a stainless steel still, which
yields high purity finished water. After filtration and ozonation, the product is promptly bottled.
• Enhanced Water: BRWC offers customers the option of enhancing their Private label water by adding
minerals, oxygen, and even fluoride. This process is usually done after the distillation process; our quality
control (“QC”) specialist carefully measures out the various additives per customer request and adds these
to the customer’s specific batch before bottling.
• Sparkling Water: BRWC is looking to add a sparkling water line to our plant in Kiamesha Lake to
appeal to a wider customer base. Sparkling water is currently available at BRWC’s sister (“affiliate”)
company, Saint-Élie in Canada.
No Dependence on one or a few major customers:
We do not rely or depend on one or only a few major customers. However, this has not always been the
case. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, we reported sales of $2,259,776 and $2,411,739, a
decrease of $151,963. This decrease is attributable to increases in one gallon sales of $103,528 partially
offset by decreases in co-packing sales of $181,091, house brand sales of $5,660, label sales of $54,423,
miscellaneous sales of $4,597, sales discounts of $5,762 and transportation sales of $3,958.

duration:
