Un scut dotat cu un șevron răsturnat. În partea superioară, pe fond de aur, simbolul fântânii moderne al apelor minerale, de azur; șevronul albastru este încărcat cu cinci arbori dezrădăcinați, de argint. În partea inferioară, pe fond roșu, o carte naturală, deschisă, pe care se suprapune o balanță neagră cu talgerele în echilibru. Scutul este timbrat de o coroană murală de argint, formată din trei turnuri crenelate.
