South Downs brand is owned by South Downs Water Co Ltd in United Kingdom.

The South Downs Water spring, which is located just outside Chichester on the Sussex/Hampshire border, was originally opened in 1918 to play a vital part in supplying the Ministry of Defence in WWI. It was subsequently used as an ice factory in 1928 before laying dormant for many years as different businesses used the factory and premises. The rediscovery of what is now known as the South Downs Water spring didn’t take place until many decades later when a curious employee of what was by then a family-owned plastics company, who had coincidentally been an apprentice at the ice factory, asked to look for the well. During a tea break one day, the employee sifted through one of the back store rooms until they found the well, with then business-owner Ian Windsor releasing the capping plate and tasting it. Following stringent testing, the South Downs Water spring was found to be one of the Natural Mineral Water sources in the UK.
