Big Springs Station has been owned by the Wilson family for over 150 years and is located 30 kilometres south-east of Wagga Wagga, NSW. For generations the Wilson family has harnessed the naturally rising spring water from the foothills of the Flakney Ranges as a precious lifeline for the farm.
Disheartened by drought, Pat Wilson (founder/owner) decided to expand the scope of the farm. He worked tirelessly to create a world-class bottling facility and in 1994 he brought the pristine natural spring water from Big Springs to market.
From 1994 to 2004, Big Springs Natural Spring Water was bottled onsite at Big Springs Station. Demand quickly grew, and in 2004 a purpose-built factory and administration facility was built in Wagga Wagga.
Big Springs Water now employs over 20 staff, including Pat Wilson’s son Angus. The close-knit, local team deliver premium natural spring water to over 6,000 clients throughout southern NSW, mid-western NSW, the ACT and north-east Victoria. The Big Springs team strive to bring you the best quality products possible with exceptional service.
Established in 1994 Big Springs Natural Spring Water is a family owned and operated business.
Our spring water is carefully extracted from a single source; not multiple locations like other spring water.
Big Springs Water is committed to recycling and looking after the natural environment. We use 100% renewable energy via solar and our electricity provider to reduce our carbon foot print.
When it comes to choosing natural spring water for your office or home, it’s important to know where your natural spring water originates.

With so many natural spring water brands available in Australia now, it can be hard to work out which one is the best. Big Springs Natural Spring Water tastes so good because:
• The Big Springs Natural Spring Water well is only 3-4 metres underground.
• Many other natural spring water suppliers have very deep wells 50-90 metres underground.
• This bore water is then processed into ‘natural spring water’.
• There are very few elements in Big Springs Natural Spring Water so it has a sweet, pure, crisp clean taste.
• Our water is 100% pure with no preservatives or additives.
• Big Springs Natural Spring Water has minerals in it with low TDS (total dissolved solids).
• Town water in many regional towns and cities is produced by reverse osmosis where the minerals are taken out
