At the request of Nestlé Waters North America, the U.S. Geological Survey has begun monitoring, collecting, and publishing surface water and groundwater data near Nestle's White Pine Springs site in Osceola Township.

This project is part of the USGS Groundwater and Streamflow Information Program, which was established to provide a more accurate assessment and status of the country's water resources, assist in the determination of the quantity and quality of water available for beneficial uses, identify long-term trends in water availability, and improve the ability to forecast the availability of water for economic, energy production, and environmental uses.
