June 2024 Group Watch: New Company Harnessing Old Natural Spring
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey joined leaders of Alabama Mineral Springs LLC to celebrate the company’s ambitious five-year project to sustainably distribute mineral-rich water from a free-flowing spring in Chilton County. Alabama Mineral Springs LLC is officially starting production at a $6 million bottling plant at the location where natural spring water was first discovered around 165 years ago. The company was formed in 2019 to capitalize on the high quality of the spring’s water, which contains a host of minerals and six of the seven naturally occurring electrolytes. Bottles of “Simply Artesian” water will be sold online and will be available at select groceries and convenience stores in Alabama, Mississippi and the Florida panhandle, with a target date of July 5. The company also plans to seek government contracts and deals with school systems.
