Silver Creek

Century Springs is located in Waukesha County in southeastern Wisconsin. Waukesha County's historical spring water use dates back to the 1800's, a time known as "The Spring Era." During this time, people from around the country would travel miles to enjoy the spring waters of the Waukesha area.

Geologic data indicate that the source of the spring water comes from glacial deposits such as sand and gravel. The spring is located in the area known as the Kettle Moraine, which derives its name from large "kettles" (low areas) and "moraines" (high areas) that developed as a result of glacial movement. In this area two tremendous glaciers (the Green Bay glacier and the Michigan glacier) moved alongside each other resulting in these very unusual land formations as well as the various springs.
