Inventory of water bottling facilities in the United States, 2024, and select water-use data, 1955-2023 (ver. 2.0, November 2024)

Metadata Updated: November 29, 2024

An inventory of facilities that bottle water or other beverages containing water (including soft drinks, beer, wine, or spirits) or that manufacture ice was compiled by combining available datasets from multiple sources. This water bottling inventory dataset includes facilities within all 50 states of the United States (U.S.), one federal district (Washington, District of Columbia), and three territories (Guam, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands). The inventory focuses on active facilities in 2024. Most closed water bottling facilities are not included; however, facilities identified as being a former production site (meaning the facility is still active but the business function has changed) or as closed during data review were kept and had their status marked. This data release includes water bottling facilities that operate their own infrastructure and source water through their own water sources, including wells, springs, and surface waters; are on a public-supply water system; or are diversified in that they obtain water from their own sources and receive public-supply water deliveries. Facility classifications were based on the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code. The NAICS is the standard used by Federal statistical agencies in classifying business establishments for the purpose of collecting, analyzing, and publishing statistical data related to the U.S. business economy. The NAICS is organized into a hierarchical structure with 3-digit codes representing the subsector and 6-digit codes representing the national industry. Beverage types in subsector 312 (Beverage and Tobacco Product Manufacturing) were compiled for this effort and included facilities with the following NAICS codes as a primary or secondary classification type: 312111: Soft drink manufacturing 312112: Bottled water manufacturing 312113: Ice manufacturing 312120: Breweries 312130: Wineries 312140: Distilleries First posted: October 16, 2023 Revised: November 27, 2024 This version supersedes the previous version of the data release: Buchwald, C.A., Luukkonen, C.L., Martin, G.R., Kennedy, J.L., Wilson, J.T., Hian, M.E., and Dieter, C.A., 2023, Inventory of water bottling facilities in the United States, 2023, and select water-use data, 1955-2022, U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P90Z125H Version 2.0 This data release has been updated as of November 27, 2024. Data and knowledge gaps for version 1 of the data release are described in the report, Luukkonen, C.L., Buchwald, C.A., Martin, G.R., and Johnson Mckee, A.E., 2024, Data and knowledge gaps of a water bottling facility inventory and select water-use dataset, United States, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2024-5106, 41 p. During creation of this report several issues were identified in the version 1 data release which have been revised in version 2. These revisions include addition of some facilities, removal of some facilities, updated ___location, status, and attributes for some facilities, and addition of aquifer information for self-supplied bottled water facilities relying on groundwater sources. This data release includes five tables: WBinventory_FacilityList.txt - a tab-delimited text file (TXT) with the inventory of water bottling facilities and associated facility information WBinventory_WaterUse.txt - a tab-delimited text file (TXT) with water-use (withdrawal) information for selected water bottling facilities WBinventory_DataSources.txt - a tab-delimited text file (TXT) that lists the source name, state, year acquired, data type, and how data were acquired to construct the facility inventory and water-use tables. WBinventory_Aquifers.txt - a tab-delimited text file (TXT) that lists assigned aquifers based on a national-scale mapping method for facilities that rely on groundwater sources. version_history.txt - a tab-delimited text file (TXT) describing changes in version 2.0 This project is part of the Water Availability and Use Science Program, which assists in the determination of water that is available for human and ecological uses, now and in the future.
