| This exceptional natural filtration makes Buxton a natural mineral water of high quality and purity with a taste that is fresh and invigorating. St. Ann's Well The water which emerges from the source at St Ann's Spring in Buxton has been shown over a long period of time to be consistently pure. By definition - a natural mineral water may not be treated and must emerge at source. It must be naturally and consistently pure and must be drinkable in its natural state. What's the difference between Natural Mineral Water and Spring Water? Spring Water is bottled water which does not conform to the Natural Mineral Water Regulations, but which nevertheless must meet the 'Tap Waters Regulations' at the time of sale. Under EEC Regulations Spring Water must conform to the same criteria as Natural Mineral Water with one important exception, Spring waters do not have to prove a consistent mineral content. However, under current UK law, Spring waters may also be treated. Photography supplied by High Peak Borough Council |
