I went out there this past Sunday, and the water tasted great, was cold, and really energized me! It is the best natural water I think I have ever had

I personally feel that any interference with the natural hydrological cycle has potential repercussions to the natural balance. For instance when we dig or drill a hole and tap into the aqua fir in this manner, a conical depression can form changing the flow, direction and pressure of the aqua fir. This can even cause the water to drop into other underground tables, thus drying up an entire well/spring. Furthermore, water goes through a maturation process much akin to creating a fine wine. When the water is ready to support life on this planet in the highest order, it will come out of the ground out of its own accord. I do not support digging wells that interfere with the natural flow. If the water is coming to the surface of its own accord and a well or temple is built around it than that is a different story. If I don’t have access to source spring water, but do have access to well water, of course I will drink this instead of anything else, as the water does tend to be very pure…anyhow just sharing perspective. I do suggest checking out Frankston/Cuney Spring if you are indeed a water warrior…

F.Y.I…………An artesian aquifer is a confined aquifer containing groundwater that will flow upward through a well, called an artesian well, without the need for pumping. Water may even reach the ground surface if the natural pressure is high enough, in which case the well is called a flowing artesian well.

An aquifer is a layer of soft rock, like limestone or sandstone, that absorbs water from an inlet path. Porous stone is confined between impermeable rocks or clay. This keeps the pressure high, so when the water finds an outlet, it overcomes gravity and goes up instead of down. The recharging of aquifers happens when the water table at its recharge zone is at a higher elevation than the head of the well.

Fossil water aquifers can also be artesian if they are under sufficient pressure from the surrounding rocks. This is similar to how many newly tapped oil wells are pressurized.

I went to this well last weekend and what a treat!!! The water was clear, ice cold and tasted so good. I filled my two 7 gallon jugs and have enjoyed the water at home. I can really tell the difference between tap water and the spring water from the well.
Not pretty to look at but does not matter the water makes up for the site location and its free. A beautiful drive to Canton and was very easy to find.
I had to wait in line to fill up. People in front of me filled up 12 blue 5 gallons jugs.
And had people in line after me….Well worth the trip and will be going back.

Went to this well yesterday. A nice motorcycle ride there from Ft. Worth. The water was cold! It tasted amazing. We ran into a man who was filling jugs. He said he had been getting water there for ten years. He also said he has seen the geographic survey of the well and that the well is 40 square miles. It is huge! We will certainly be going to back with our large jugs to fill up.

My family has used this well for the 40 years they have lived in the Canton area. I remember going as a little girl. It is the best water I have ever had. It even makes food cooked in it taste so much better! Please go, get some awesome water and enjoy some country hospitality while you are there. Canton is my favorite place in the world!

good water … large uv filter and my guess is also a micron filter on it … nice town … some nice may apple plants in the woods if you trek in em

happy hunting blood!

Just visited this place and I got to say the water is fantastic. I can see how people think its ugly because I brought 2 of my friends with me and had to drink the water just to prove it was good. NOW THAT THEY OWN GALLONS OF IT THEY UNDERSTAND WATER. This isn't H20 this is something like H(minerals, etc…)20.

I tested the water at the canton spring for fluoride contamination.
The test results were 0.03PPM to 0.05 PPM
Which are really great test results!
