Richard initially fell in love with rainwater after he installed a whole-house collection system at his own home in 1994.   He began installing systems for other people out in the hill country and one day, while working on a hot, dusty job-site, he grew so thirsty for rainwater that he drove all the way home to fill his thermos from his own faucet. That’s when he decided everyone, even city slickers, deserved the great taste of rain. Cloud Juice was born. He now devotes himself full-time to bottling Richard’s Rainwater and Happy Water at his award-winning plant, recently christened Fizz City.
