Founder's Farewell
July 27, 2026
Passing the Torch After 35 Years
Dear Customer,
This comes in the form of a goodbye/hello letter. After 35 years of owning and
operating Ideal Pure Water, my father, Mike, and I have decided to retire and say
“goodbye”. Providing you with bottled water has been our pleasure. With whole
hearts we thank you for having supported our local business model and for your
many years of loyalty. THANK YOU.
The “hello” part of this letter is to introduce the new owners. The company will
now be under the Culligan banner, the most recognized name in the industry.
We have full faith and confidence in the folks at Culligan and know they will
continue to provide uninterrupted, excellent customer service and product
to your doorstep.
Thank you again, goodbye and hello ...
Jeff Platt
