Try this one, from even further afield (not to mention the hype around how it is collected!): http://tasmanianrain.com/

(I'm from Tasmania, and I've never seen it -- I suspect you can only buy it in L.A.)

Little known fact -- Fiji bottled water mostly comes as a byproduct of downtown Honolulu's cooling system. They use a process called OTEC: http://hawaii.gov/dbedt/info/energy/renewable/otec
I've also seen a brand in the US from New Zealand...
