Blue Spring Water

## Overview Blue Spring Water is a private drinking spring located approximately 4 miles north of Blountsville in Blount County, Alabama, along US Route 231. The spring is fed by the Bangor Aquifer, a limestone formation within the Bangor Limestone geological unit that underlies portions of northern Alabama. Limestone aquifers like the Bangor are known for naturally filtering groundwater through layers of carbonate rock, and water sourced from them has historically been valued for its clean, mineral-rich qualities. Blue Spring Water operates as a commercial spring water provider, offering natural spring water in both 5-gallon and 3-gallon containers for purchase. ## Directions 1. From Blountsville, Alabama, head north on **US Route 231**. 2. Continue approximately **4 miles** north of town. 3.

Visitors can purchase spring water on-site in 5-gallon and 3-gallon containers. The facility is open **Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM**. It's advisable to confirm hours before making a trip, as seasonal or holiday schedules may vary. Because this is a private operation, access to the actual spring source may be limited. The surrounding area of northern Blount County features rolling hills and wooded terrain typical of the southern Appalachian foothills, making the drive along US 231 a pleasant one. The Bangor Aquifer that feeds this spring is part of the broader Mississippian-age limestone geology found throughout the region, which has given rise to numerous springs across north-central Alabama.
