Saratoga State Seal Waters

By the 20th century, Saratoga's waters were celebrated throughout the nation as health-conscious tourists and the wider public pursued proper diet and exercise. In this environment, the search at Saratoga Springs for a pure drinking water suited to salt-free and generally healthy diets led to the discovery of State Seal Water in the State Reservation. In 1915, chemist Herbert "Doc" Ant of the State Reservation at Saratoga Springs sampled 15 different springs of still water to meet public demand for a nutritious, good-tasting drinking water. After careful research, he identified a water with strong taste appeal that was ideal for low-salt diets, and it was bottled and commercially sold as Saratoga State Seal Water.
