3 Brothers: All for None : Blood Is Thicker Than the Water They Bottle . . . . . . but Not Enough to Bring Their Firms Together

In one respect, Dimitri Peykoff would have been proud of his three sons: Christ, Andrew and Angelo.
An immigrant from Greece who ran a bar and candy store in a working class section of Buffalo, N.Y., Peykoff taught his boys to “work hard and stick together,” recalls Christ, the eldest brother.
Work hard they did. One after another, the Peykoff brothers migrated to Orange County, plunged into the drinking water business, and prospered.
Sticking together proved a problem.
In fact, the Peykoffs today compete head to head as the chief executives of three rival water companies: Niagara Drinking Water in Irvine, founded by Andrew in 1963; Oasis Drinking Waters in Santa Ana, founded by Christ in 1975, and Rocky Mountain Water in Santa Fe Springs, founded by Angelo in 1971 and located in Fullerton until earlier this year.
Although Andrew and Christ were once in the Orange County water business as partners, and Angelo almost joined up as well, the pressures of working closely in the same business proved overwhelming, and they have all gone their separate ways. As a result, Christ said, the brothers’ personal relationships have become strained over the years, although they remain on speaking terms.
“They’re my brothers; I still have to talk to them,” said Christ, 52. “As they say, blood is thicker than water.”
Andrew agreed with his older brother’s assessment, while Angelo declined to be interviewed.
All three Peykoff businesses are doing well, each generating annual sales of $5 million to $10 million in a Southern California bottled water arket estimated at $300 million.
Together, the Peykoff companies account for roughly a third of the Orange County bottled water market.
Yet they are relatively small in comparison to Arrowhead and Sparkletts, which together account for about half of the Southern California bottled water business, according to the International Bottled Water Assn. of Alexandria, Va. Two other companies, Hinkley & Schmitt in Orange and Bastanchury Bottled Waters in Fullerton, also have a significant stake in Orange County, each with roughly 10% of the market.
Although they don’t dominate the market, the Peykoff brothers are fairly representative of bottled water company operators across the country.
“The majority of bottled water companies are family owned, and most are regional and local in nature,” said William Deal, a vice president of the national trade group.
