Where is poland springs

Back in , a pair of plaintiffs from Connecticut filed a class-action lawsuit against Poland Spring, claiming that the company was falsely advertising its source.

The suit alleged that the original Poland Spring dried up in , so it was false advertising to claim that all the water came from there. All those names are tied to specific places: Arrowhead refers to a tourist destination in California, Ozarka is in northeast Texas, and Zephyrhills is a city about 30 miles northeast of Tampa, Florida. Researchers found that 18 percent of bottled-water brands give zero information about where they come from.

Thirty-two percent of the bottled-water brands failed to disclose information about their treatment procedures or water purity on the label. Arrowhead got a C, because its label lists a variety of potential springs in California but no specific location and provides only a phone number and website where customers can seek water quality information.

Ozarka, Zephyrhills, and yes, Poland Spring also got Ds for listing vague information about specific sources and no contact information for consumers seeking water quality data. Lazgin said that, since that report was issued, the company now lists a phone number and website where consumers can find water quality data on all brands.

Many other companies scored far worse. EWG argues that the Food and Drug Administration should require all bottled-water companies to disclose this information on the label. Kate Sheppard.

Before Poland Spring stopped buying water from the Lincoln Water District during the second week of November, it had substantially slowed down its purchasing starting last May, before halting purchases altogether during the summer and resuming them in the fall, Day said.

While Lincoln Town Manager Rick Bronson is hopeful that Poland Spring will resume business in Lincoln, drinking water sales during the ongoing pandemic seemed to make it unlikely in the near future.

Lincoln had also once been the potential site of a new bottling plant for Poland Spring to join its locations in Hollis, Kingfield and Poland. However, Poland Spring had delayed any plans for a new plant during the pandemic, Day said.

Day said he was unsure when water district sales to Poland Spring would resume but said, based on his interactions with a Poland Spring employee last week, they could return in May.
