SPRING WATER DEFINED

In September, 1991 the North Carolina Board of Agriculture adopted rules that defined well water and spring water. The effective date for these rules was April 1, 1992. Spring water in North Carolina is ground water that freely flows to the earth's surface without mechanical aid. Well water originates from holes that are cored, bored, drilled, jetted, dug or other wise constructed to tap an aquifer through which water is derived by mechanical aid.

Several administrative steps were taken by various parties to block implementation of these rules. At its meeting on March 19, 1992, the Board of Agriculture heard additional testimony and then reaffirmed its support of the original rules. The board acted in favor of truth in labeling for consumers.

The NCSWA applauds the N.C. Board of Agriculture and represented the spring water sources, bottlers, distributors, and consumers, in these meetings.

Join the NCSWA, protect the natural resource of natural spring water.
