No, actually that wasn't me... I replied TO it however.

Now I feel like an idiot, cause there is a farm supply co-op in the
neighbourhood, and I didn't even think to check it out (I forget it's
there half the time!). There's not a local bottling plant THAT close,
however, so they may be from a different source, but the need for water
is universal, so I'll just look for that.
I guess I know where to look now.
