Natural source waters
Natural source waters come from protected underground sources that are free from pollution and are safe to drink at source without chemical treatment.
These can be natural mineral water, spring water or bottled drinking water. As natural source waters must be safe to drink from source without chemical treatment, producers must start by ensuring the water and the land around the water source is free from pollution to guarantee the quality of the product.
It can take years between finding a source and the water from it being made ready for sale. Once the source has been tested and the water is safe to drink, the water is abstracted from an underground borehole and screened or filtered to remove any particles. The water is then bottled or packaged and is ready for consumption.
