The artesian springs, which are located in Eldorado Springs, flow from a unique geologic source. The spring water originates as rain and snow just east of the Continental Divide. There it enters an aquifer and flows underground heading east. The aquifer passes underneath Eldorado Springs and intersects with the Lyons Sandstone Formation. These sandstones are old sand dunes which were pushed up vertically during the formation of the Rocky Mountains. An immense artesian pressure forces the water up through the sandstone to the surface in Eldorado Springs, naturally filtering it. It is estimated to take many years to complete this entire circulation process, and you can be assured the water contains no "man made" pollutants. Protecting the source from all other ground waters is a 500 foot thick layer of clay known as Lykin's Layer which is just above the sandstone and is impervious to water. Furthermore, Eldorado Springs is surrounded by hundreds of acres of local, federal, and state park land. All these factors contribute in the natural production of Eldorado Artesian Spring Water a water renowned as a pure natural spring.

The FineWaters Balance
Certainly the difference in bottled waters is subtle. Some might even argue indistinguishable. But we believe that there are discreet differences in bottled water - and that these differences can enhance the experience in drinking them.
The Flavor of Bottled Water
When tasting water the most important factor in its overall integrated sensation we call flavor is the mouthfeel generated by the size, amount and distribution of the bubbles or the absence of it.
Matching Bottled Water With Food
The FineWaters Balance categorizes the "mouthfeel" of water based on the level of carbonization in five steps from Still to Effervescent, Light, Classic and Bold. This categorization is the basis of matching water with food in a fine dinig experience.
Temperature
There is nothing wrong with drinking water at almost any temperature but you should start paying attention and a little experimentation will revel a lot of epicurean delight in the consumption of water.
