Our Water Quality - Pure Spring Water


Gala Bay 100% natural, pure spring water is classified as "live" because it gathers its electrolytes naturally on its journey through the earth's surface under natural force. It is slowly and naturally filtered through layers of rock, sand and gravel on its way to our aquifer.

Bottled at the Source

Gala Bay Springs Natural Spring Water is bottled at the source. While being bottled, the water passes through an ultraviolet (UV) light to ensure no bacteria are present at the time of bottling. We have just tapped a new spring and the results are below! Together our springs produce 40,000 gallons per day, and have been recently reclassified as pure spring water. This means it does not require ozonation prior to bottling.

Container Sterilization Process

The washing cycle for all containers is as follows:

Washed > rinsed > sterilized > rinsed > sterilized > rinsed > filled

Water Testing

Gala Bay Springs Water Company tests their water every 3 months at both private and public labs: Northern Labs Ltd. in Prince Rupert, British Columbia and weekly by the Northern Health Public Health Department laboratory.
