Carb-BOOM also encourages earth and "Clean Planet" awareness, posting a reminder to consumers on Carb-BOOM packaging to please not litter.

Sparkling Spring Water Sparkling Spring is some of the best-tasting, highest-quality water you'll find. Sparkling Spring water flows from four high-quality sources. The original source, tapped in 1896, is a deep, flowing artesian well that is still in use at the Sparkling Spring, Highland Park bottling facility. The second Sparkling Spring well is a deep artesian source in Sauk Village, IL. Both yield abundant supplies of premium quality water, and supply many of the 1-gallon products, as well as the 3- and 5-gallon delivery products. These deep wells are also supplying Lakeshore Marathon participants with clean, fresh, water throughout the event!

Hopefully you can be a part of the inaugural event. We look forward to having you join us!
