About This Spring
## Overview Midas Spring Water, located along Beatties Ford Road in Huntersville, North Carolina, holds the distinction of being North Carolina's oldest bottled water manufacturer and one of the oldest bottled water companies in the United States. Situated in Mecklenburg County, Midas was a pioneer in home and office water delivery, building a long legacy around its natural spring source. The spring's modern chapter began when two brothers purchased the property, originally in search of developable land. Upon discovering the unique mineral-rich properties of the spring water, they chose to continue the bottling tradition rather than develop the site. The brothers have drawn comparisons between Midas Spring and the famed waters of Fiuggi, a medieval town nestled in the hills south of Rome, Italy. Fiuggi's mineral water has been celebrated for centuries — reportedly favored by Michelangelo and several popes — and is historically associated with benefits for kidney health, including the dissolution of renal stones. One of the brothers has noted that Midas's water may rival or even surpass Fiuggi's in quality, underscoring the spring's reputation for exceptional mineral content. Midas Spring Water is a **paid, private spring** — visitors can purchase bottled water directly or arrange for home and office delivery.

Instead, visitors can purchase spring water on-site or set up delivery service. The water is sourced from a natural spring on the property and has been described as mineral-rich, with qualities that the owners compare favorably to some of Europe's most celebrated mineral springs. The facility is located along a well-traveled stretch of Beatties Ford Road in the growing Huntersville area, making it easily accessible by car. Parking is available on-site. Because this is a commercial operation, it's a good idea to check their website or call ahead for current hours, pricing, and any bulk purchase options before visiting. For those interested in natural spring water with a storied history and reported mineral richness, Midas Spring Water offers a convenient way to access a locally sourced product with deep roots in North Carolina's bottled water heritage.
