Farewell to an Old Friend

We were sorry to learn that one of our favorite local companies are closing their doors. According to the West Orange Patch, Rock Spring Water will be going out of business.

After more than 60 years of providing West Orange with fresh spring bottled water and coolers, the owners of the Rock Spring Water company, now called Diamond Spring Water, are looking to sell their building located on Northfield Avenue.

The owners sold the account to Diamond Spring Water earlier this year and are now in the process of selling the landmark building.

Looking through the public commentary on the building, locals like us are hoping the building will be occupied by a business that will contribute to our community.

I feel the same way. We need more businesses based on the needs of the community. We've been drinking local Essex County Rock Spring Water for Decades and have always appreciated the clean crisp quality. It is nice to know that it's not being trucked by tankers and processed far away. On Behalf of Academy Fence Company in Orange, Essex County, NJ .... Thanks for the years of quality water and we're sorry to see you go.
