History[edit | edit source]
The Shivar Springs Bottling Company was established in the late 1800s, during a time when the consumption of mineral water was believed to have health benefits. The company capitalized on this belief by bottling the spring water that was abundant in the area. The cisterns were constructed as part of the company's infrastructure to store large quantities of this water.
Construction[edit | edit source]
The cisterns were engineered to maintain the purity and natural properties of the spring water. Constructed from local stone and sealed with natural materials, these cisterns were designed to keep the water cool and free from contaminants. The exact construction date of the cisterns is not documented, but they are believed to have been built concurrently with the establishment of the bottling company.
