Proud Source Water
About Proud Source Water
Proud Source started as a family business founded with good intentions. Our goal was to support the small community of Mackay Idaho through job creation. Mackay Idaho is a remote town that sits in a stunning valley surrounded by the largest mountain peaks in Idaho. To visit, is like being transported 100 years back in time. We were looking to solve for the lack of opportunity in the area. Like many rural towns in America, Mackay had fallen on hard times forcing people to relocate to find work. One of our co-founders, a 7th generation Mackay resident, recognized the quality of the local natural resource. The spring source is naturally unique, and in great abundance. So as a family, we built a bottling facility at the spring source to signal to the community that they were not forgotten.
