Sand Springs revival ties to bottling past and spa comeback
Meehan and partner bought the Sand Springs bottling plant and health spa remains in 1971 after the former soda business failed amid no deposit bottle trends. They pursued bottled water with plans to outpace standard offerings, while the neighboring pool and spa under Alan George revives as a health retreat. The Dome-origin water, once linked to ginger ale innovations, fuels both ventures as Williamstown’s mineral spring history reemerges amid renovation, disputes on water purity, and Meehan’s move toward selling the bottling business.
