    Thanks for the tip….I left a sample of the water with the Tulsa Health Department, so now I know what to expect. Fortunately I have found another spring in Sand Springs that I’ll be checking out this weekend.

    Hi Pennster…………you spring water detective. We have a great spring in our community here at Sparrow Hawk Village. I would like to get this water tested too. I wonder if our Tahlequah Health Dept. would test our water?? If not maybe Tulsa Health Dept. would test our spring water. Is there any other place to have water testing done around eastern Oklahoma??

    DD!
    The Tulsa Health Dept. told me that they do the testing for all the municipal water supplies throughout Green Country. Unfortunately, you will have to pay to have your water tested. To have the complete profile done it’s around $100, but maybe you could get your community to all pitch in a bit. It would be valuable information for everyone to have!

    Ruby, How did the Sand Springs water test turn out?

    Water pumped through PVC piping can pick up bisphenol-A, organotin and phthalates which cause hormonal imbalances in men and women.

    What was the result of the test please! I have drank this water before, many times!

  • Kiwi90

    Ruby, what were the test results on that water in BA?

  • Twohandssellers

    The springhouse needs a roof, and the water is the best around. There are three springs near/under the house, and two are combined running into the bar ditch (30ft) south of the spring house pipe. the white PVC replaced the original iron pipe that had been there since day one. The property was a dairy years ago and the springhouse was used to cool milk and butter. My granpa took me there many times in my earliest memories and I have shared it with many friends. Also, I have tested the water with Tulsa Co Health Dept (more than once) and it is high quality with organic material (duh… it’s a spring) and they recommend not to consume, but it is the best I have found and back when BA was using Verdigris River water (late 60′s) the spring was the only water my family used for drinking and tea/coffee. it’s good to last drop…

    I’ve been drinking this water exclusively for several months and have felt great! It tastes good and stays fresh for a full week in my container unrefrigerated.

    I guess ,,, drinking chlorinated water and whatever else the area cities use to “clean/purify” your water – is better for your health.

  • Bdavisok

    There’s another spring close by (or there used to be…)  west of Elm on the south side of 121st St.  Does anyone know if that water tests ok?

  • http://www.PrimalSurvival.com Primal Survival

    We found the pH to be a perfect 6.20, and the TDS to be a low 90 ppm, temp 65 degrees!  Love this spring water.  We even blogged about it…

    Where did you have the spring water tested?  Health Dept?  also, what was the date?  Are you speaking of the Spring in Broken Arrow on 185th?  curious due to my family getting water from there. 

  • Treat6

    Does anyone have a test for 2011 on this water?  If not, I am going to be collecting a sample next week and have it tested at Health Dept. 

  • Cathy Treat

    I had this well tested in January, 2012.  It was not recommended for safe drinking water.  I went to Tulsa County Health Dept. and used one of their water sample bottles, collected water according to their instructions and the results were “not safe for drinking”  contained Coliforms.

    Coliform bacteria are a commonly used bacterial indicator of sanitary quality of foods and water. They are defined as rod-shaped Gram-negative non-spore forming bacteria which can ferment lactose with the production of acid and gas when incubated at 35-37°C.[1] Coliforms can be found in the aquatic environment, in soil and on vegetation; they are universally present in large numbers in the faeces of warm-blooded animals. While coliforms are themselves not normally causes of serious illness, they are easy to culture and their presence is used to indicate that other pathogenic organisms of faecal origin may be present. Faecal pathogens include bacteria, viruses, or protozoa and many multicellular parasites.
    Typical genera include:[2]
    Citrobacter, Enterobacter Hafnia Klebsiella Serratia Fecal coliform:

    Thanks for getting that tested Cathy.  Good to know.  That area is fairly urban, thus the contamination..  too bad  :(

    Does anyone have any information as to the water that you can get around 121st & Elm in Broken Arrow, OK?  It is not far from the walmart at 121st & elm.  I think there is a pump and you can get water.  There is also a tip jar.  Is this fresh spring water or well water?  It isnt registered on this site.  Cathy Treat  treat6Wwindstream.net
