2016 WATER QUALITY REPORT

1 2016 WATER QUALITY REPORT INTRODUCTION Crossroads Beverage Group LLC., water bottling plant meets all federal and state health standards. regulates bottled water as a food product whereas EPA regulates tap water as provided by water utilities. Standards of quality enacted by the for bottled water must be as protective of the public health as EPA s standards (known as Maximum Contaminant Levels) for tap water. Ensuring the safety of the water is our primary objective in providing our product to the consumer. OUR SOURCE FOR WATER Crossroads Beverage Group LLC, uses multiple protected wells as the source of our water used in our Natural Drinking and our (Distilled and Reverse Osmosis) waters. These wells bring water to the surface from aquifers below the surface. Layers of solid rock provide an impervious (not-passable) protective cover for the aquifer water. This source water is completely safe to drink. We test our sources regularly to verify that they are of extremely high quality. The sources for our spring water are a naturally occurring springs located off-site. This approved source brings water from the underground aquifers to the surface by natural forces. These aquifers are also provided protection with layers of solid rock. Dedicated stainless steel tankers transport this water to our facility. This spring water is completely safe to drink and is monitored regularly to ensure that it meets the highest quality standards. HOW BOTTLED WATER IS PREPARED Bottled water is protected by a multi-barrier approach that may include steps as source protection and monitoring, and treatments such as reverse osmosis, micron filtration, distillation, ozonation and the application of ultraviolet light. We produce four different types of water: Distilled,, Drinking and Spring. To make our distilled water, the municipal water is heated to produce steam. The minerals are left behind and the steam is condensed for pure, mineral-free water. The product is then subject to the UV light, micron filtration and ozonation before bottling. Our distilled water contains less than 5 milligrams of sodium per 8 ounce serving. Our reverse osmosis process removes nearly all the salts and minerals from the municipal water. This process works by forcing the water through a semi-permeable membrane (the water passes through but the minerals do not). The water is then processed further with UV light, micron filtration and ozonation before being bottled. Our reverse osmosis water contains less than 5 milligrams of sodium per 8 ounce serving. Our drinking water is reverse osmosis. This product is then processed further with UV light application, micron filtration and ozonation before being bottled. Our drinking water contains less than 5 milligrams of sodium per 8 ounce serving. Our spring water comes from protected springs and arrives at our facility via stainless steel dedicated tankers and is processed further by UV light, micron filtration and ozonation before final packaging. All of our bottled water products are ozonated. We use ozone instead of chlorine because it does not cause a taste and odor problem. Ozone is oxygen (O 3 to be exact) that is bubbled through the water just before it goes into clean, sanitized bottle. Within a few hours after the bottle has been filled and capped, the ozone dissipates or converts back to the form of oxygen that we breathe (O 2 ). OUR COMPANY S WATER TESTING Our company tests regularly for 69 organic chemicals and 26 inorganic chemicals that are regulated by the. As an extra safeguard, we also test for 109 unregulated contaminants. No contaminant was detected above s limits in our testing as demonstrated in our Product Water Analysis. There have been no violations of any Standards of Quality. For current test results see latest NSF Report.
