FIJI
Water FIJI Water has partnered with Bear Necessities as our official
Water Sponsor for our Bear Tie Ball, Golf Outing, Bear
Run and other smaller events.
In the remote Yaqara Valley of Viti Levu, at the very
edge of a primitive rainforest, lies a vast artesian
aquifer, a huge volcanic chamber confined by the rock
walls of an ancient crater. This is the source of FIJI
Water. By definition, artesian water comes from a source
deep within the earth, protected by layers of clay and
rock. There is no opening, not even a porthole to the
surface. As a result, the water never comes into contact
with the air, protecting it from environmental pollutants
and other contamination. FIJI Water is the only water
originating from an artesian source.
