Stream Water

What Stream Water does

Stream Water is a Canadian privately-held spring water company headquartered in Ottawa, founded in 2018 and operating in Metcalfe, Ontario. The company sources naturally alkaline (7.7 pH) spring water from a glacial esker in the Eastern Ontario Highlands that was identified by a local hydrologist in 1994, and packages it exclusively in 100% recyclable aluminum cans (355 mL) and glass bottles (750 mL) — explicitly avoiding single-use plastic. Its product portfolio comprises Still Water, Sparkling Water in cans, Sparkling Water in 750 mL glass bottles, a Lemon Lime flavored sparkling SKU, and the upcoming Stream Keto functional beverage. The company holds a self-claimed first-to-market position as the first natural spring water in a can in Canada.

Stream Water operates a hybrid go-to-market model. Direct-to-consumer sales are conducted through an e-commerce storefront on streamwater.ca with weekly Friday delivery to homes and offices in the Greater Ottawa/Gatineau/Chelsea corridor under minimum-order terms. A second revenue stream is on-premise sales to approximately 15 named hospitality, restaurant, hotel, coffee, arts, and festival venues in the Ottawa region, including the National Arts Centre, Riviera, Arlo Restaurant, Les Fougeres, Motel Chelsea, Equator Coffee, and the Ottawa Jazz Festival. A third stream, White Label Services, offers B2B private-label and co-packing capabilities — covering product selection, packaging guidance, design coordination, and delivery — for brands seeking to launch their own premium canned or bottled water SKUs.

The business is founder-led and bootstrapped, with no disclosed funding rounds, no identified institutional investors, no M&A activity, and no public revenue figures. Marketing is conducted through organic Instagram and Facebook channels (@streamwatercanada) and the company website. Headcount is reported at 11–50 employees, and operations are entirely Canada-based with no international footprint disclosed.
