Water

The Highlands line is Foutch’s own brand of spring water. The water itself comes from a natural spring in Alabama that produces over one million gallons per day.  It is monitored and tested constantly and has been approved by the International Bottled Water Association. Please contact us if you would like further information.

OUR SOURCE FOR OUR WATER

Our spring is located in Big Wills Valley and produces in excess of one million gallons of spring water per day. We have tested the spring extensively and have been approved as a drinking water resource by Alabama Department of Environmental Management. We have been approved as a Bottler by the Alabama Department of Health and by the Food and Drug Administration. We maintain our own laboratory and do routine testing during the bottling process. We also have an independent state certified laboratory that regularly tests samples from the spring as well as from each bottling production. We are members of the International Bottled Water Association and the Southeastern Bottled Water Association. We are proud to have received the IBWA’s Excellence in Manufacturing Award for the last five consecutive years.

HOW BOTTLED WATER IS PREPARED

The Highlands Spring Water source is protected by a multi-barrier approach, which includes source protection and monitoring, micron filtration, and ozonation. Our Spring Water passes through two filter housings and is then ozonated prior to bottling. The first housing contains 7 filters with a 1.0 micron rating. The second housing has 7 absolute filters with a .45 micron rating. This level of filtration protects against giardia and cryptosporidiuin contamination.

Ozone is oxygen (03 to be exact) which is bubbled -through the water just before it goes into a clean, sanitized bottle. Within a few hours after the bottle has been filled and capped, the ozone dissipates or converts back to the same form of oxygen that we breathe (02).

Comes in 5 gal plastic.
