Summit Spring is an extremely rare geologic phenomenon. The free-flowing spring is located on the highest ground in Cumberland County, Maine. on a bedrock fracture. The "Eagle" in the logo is representative of the fact that Summit Hill was a breading ground for this raptor in the early 1900's. Summit Spring is still captured in the original stone spring house built to protect the source in 1936. The water is gravity fed to the bottling facility located just 50 feet away. The new bottling facility is in the same place as the original wooden barreling facility built in the 1800's.
The water of Summit Spring bubbles to the surface naturally, without using pumps, boreholes or other environmentally destructive means. On arrival the water has been filtered thorough thousands of feet of sand and gravel and pushed to the surface.
Summit Spring is the only bottled water company ever allowed membership in the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA), an organization long respected for its high standards and strict membership requirements.
Summit Spring Water is one of a select few bottled waters to carry the State of Maine’s “Premium Grade” designation.
