Our Environmental Commitment.

While most businesses acquire or distribute their products to (or from) international suppliers and customers, Premium Springs is unique in that we PRODUCE and DISTRIBUTE LOCALLY almost exclusively. The bulk of our business is water, which is acquired locally, and is treated locally, and distributed locally. Very few businesses in any industry can make that claim.

That being said, Premium Springs Water Company is still mindful of the impact that our use of energy and natural resources has on the environment. We have devoted attention to the environmental footprint of our delivery & logistics operations, and have established programs to minimize waste and conserve resources and energy.

Some of the ways in which we strive to achieve this is by:

• Encouraging the use of 5 gallon and 3 gallon size bottles, over smaller single serve size bottles. Our 5 and 3 gallon bottles are sanitized and REFILLED, which means the bottles stay OUT of landfills. Unlike small single serve sizes (500ml, 1L and 1.5L bottles) where the bottles sometimes make their way to the garbage and landfills. These larger bottles are used, and refilled, and reused again. Using these bottles is one of the most effective ways you can drink bottled water without contributing to waste.
• Maximizing route and vehicle capacities. We are continually restructuring routes to ensure that delivery routes are filled to the capacity. This way, we can achieve the maximum level of volume of water delivered per route, which reduces the overall "per bottle" energy used to distribute water.
• Recycling. We recycle all our damaged bottles, used caps, plastics and cardboard used in our facility. We produce VERY little garbage waste.
• Reduced frequency of billing. With our prepaid water program, we typically issue invoices only once per 12 bottles. By allowing us to do this, we have reduced the frequency of billing to our customers, to only once every 3-4 months on average. This is a reduction of paper, envelopes and mailing of approximately 75%!
• Electronic Invoicing and Statements. We encourage our customers, whenever possible, to allow us to issue statements and invoices electronically vie email. By addressing this with our customers, we have been able to reduce the number of statements and invoices, printed and mailed to less than 20% of our overall customer base.

We would like to say THANK YOU to our customers for helping us achieve these goal!
