The beautiful State of Maine holds the ancient aquifers currently responsible for Poland Spring^® Brand Natural Spring Water’s distinctive taste. Created by a retreating glacier 20,000 years ago, these aquifers are some of nature’s best purification systems. Continuously fed by water from rainfall and melting snow, the water percolates through layers of fine sand and gravel to produce spring water with a clean, crisp, refreshing taste. Poland Spring^® Brand Natural Spring Water is naturally salt-free. When first bottled by the Ricker family in 1845, the spring water was collected from the crest of the hill on the original Poland Spring Inn property.

Today, Poland Spring^® Brand Natural Spring Water is one of the top bottled water brands in the U.S., and is enjoyed by millions of people throughout the Northeast. Its spring water sources have been elected for their similarity and compatibility in taste and mineral composition. Adding additional sources allows the brand to meet demand while protecting the environment. We continue to review our current sources and occasionally seek new sources that meet our natural spring water requirements and standards.

Our sources are continually monitored for quality and safe withdrawal practices.
