1930s–1950s

Brackish water is sourced from Devonshire Marsh, treated at Parsons Lane, and distributed via pipeline to the City of Hamilton and South Shore hotels.

1960s–1980s

Pipeline infrastructure expands across Hamilton and into the western parishes, with “Watlington Water” becoming a recognised and trusted supply.

1992

Pure Water (Bermuda) Limited was established as the island’s first bottled water company.

1994

Seawater desalination is introduced with the installation of a reverse osmosis plant at the North Shore facility in Devonshire.

1996

Pure Water operations are acquired and relocated to Parsons Lane, expanding bottled water production and distribution island-wide.

2000s–Present

Ongoing investment in infrastructure and technology expands production capacity to over one million gallons per day, with all water produced through desalination. Production can be adjusted based on operational needs and demand.
