Icebox Water sources its water at the source from Canada from the True North Spring, which serves as a crisp and delicious contrast to filtered tap water put in many plastic water bottle brands.
The True North pure natural spring water source and bottling facility are located in a pristine valley near South Brook in rural Newfoundland and Labrador.
