Bottling plant eyes February start
A new water bottling plant in Marianna should be in full production some time next month, according to T.J. East, the plant manager for Ice River Springs’ local operation.
The Canada-based company will be drawing water from White Springs in Liberty County’s Bristol community, and Gainer Springs in Bay County’s Fountain community, as well as from the Floridan aquifer via a Marianna city water well.
The water drawn in Marianna will be bottled for an Ice River Springs customer, who will market it as purified water under its own brand. The water drawn from the springs outside Jackson County will be trucked here for bottling and distributed as spring water under the Ice River Springs brand.
East said all the equipment has been installed and the company is busy working with customers and potential customers.
