Ice Mountain is a brand of bottled water from the Nestlé company, produced and marketed primarily in the Midwest region of the United States. Ice Mountain sources their water from two groundwater wells at Sanctuary Spring in Mecosta County, Michigan and/or Evart Spring in Evart, Michigan.[1][2] The water is drawn from underground aquifers using wells and is not drawn from surface springs, rivers, or mountain run-off as the packaging would imply.
Sizes and packages
Ice Mountain water comes in the following sizes: 90 and 3 gallon containers; 2.5 gallon dispensers; 100 gallon jugs; 3 liter stackable bottles; 10.5 liter bottles; 700 mL, 500 mL (16.9 oz), 20 oz, 11 oz Aquapod, 9 oz, and 8 oz fluoridated plast.
Delivery
In some areas, home and office delivery of bottled water may be available, as stated on the bottles.[citation needed]
Water sourcing issues
Ice Mountain has been part of the Great Lakes water use debate in which diversion of the basin's primary and secondary water for export has been controversial.[1][3] In 2004, a Michigan court ordered pumping of Sanctuary springs to cease. After an appellate court overturned the cease and desist, the company and local groups came to an agreement to pump only 218 gallons per minute, which is comparable to other local beverage operations.[4] Nestlé has run into similar local opposition when trying to locate a new source location near the headwaters of the White River in the upper lower peninsula of Michigan.
