You’re willing to pay a premium price for naturally bottled spring water. But, the sad thing is that in some instances, you’re not getting what you pay for. Sure, you can check the label to see if it comes from a city water supply, but how are you going to know if the spring is a natural, free-flowing water source or just another hole drilled in the ground?

Pumping reverses the natural flow of an aquifer and can draw poorly filtered surface water and contaminants into the water. Spring Water is a Gift from Nature. Geologists defines spring water as water that freely flows without the aid of mechanical means th
