Green Acres water comes from a well, and Director Jon Floyd said the water was named best-tasting water in the world a few years ago, along with "awards and accolades from every direction."
Floyd said Green Acres produces about 700,000 gallons a year, and the plant has grown dramatically during the past 10 years.
"It just seems like the bottled water industry is always being slammed, and I don't know why," he said.
"I know a lot of people think we're kind of backward (in West Virginia), but that's the people who don't live here."
Floyd said he thought West Virginia bottlers are more concerned with quality than quantity, and he has 12 people at his plant inspecting the quality of their product.
"The market is flooded with water right now, no pun intended," he said.
