EVIAN’S ANNIVERSARY
Evian next year will celebrate the hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its discovery in 1789, the year of the Revolution. The source, one of the most famous in the world, was discovered by accident in 1789, but it was not until 1878 that the State, on the advice of the Academy of Medicine, gave an official charter of Evian to work the source. The chemical composition of the water of Evian has varied only a fraction during the sixty years it has been regularly analysed. Every year the source produces 315 million litres of mineral water, that is, about 600 litres a minute, at a temperature of 52 degrees Fahrenheit. It is claimed for this water that it is absolutely pure, a cubic meter of it containing not a single germ. Nineteen million bottles of Source Cachat Evian water are sent every year to all parts of the world.
