About Mount Lofty Springs Water

All Mount Lofty Springs water is sourced from a naturally free-flowing spring located just below the peak of Mount Lofty. The water comes from aquifers deep below ground level rising through layers of sandstone and bedrock which filter it before it reaches the surface. This natural filtration process gives the water its unique properties and taste.
