Village Springs Corporation got its start in January 1989. The new company began bottling operations of one gallon bottles in a 1,100 square foot facility located at the spring source. The bottled water company, Village Springs, was named and started by six family members. Robert Cassells, his wife Pat, daughter and son-in-law, Christine and Rob Stetson, and his two sons Bob Jr. and Sean. The spring source for Village Springs includes three real springs. The label for Village Springs includes a scenic view of South Willington and the spring which is still used today. The spring source was discovered in 1840 and developed to gravity feed the Village of South Willington, CT as a public water supply.
