“I created this name as I know of no other. This spring has served the townspeople well. The water supply was accidentally poisoned decades ago forcing the locals back to the Source. I’ll provide a link regarding the chemical spill.” – NewDawn

Description

This Spring is called “Mt. Blue Spring” & is located near the end of the driveway of the park [the last paved parking lot to the right (after a campsite), just before the turn-around @ the end of the road; Union St.]. The water comes from an Aquifer & is maintained by the park. It exists within a hut, & there are 3 faucets which maintain (limit) the water flow. I asked one of the rangers if it was “sucked” out of the earth like a well & he stated it is not, that it is indeed an aquifer, which means the water coming up is ‘ripe’, & just limited by the presence of 3 faucets, however there was some sort of pump there which they were having issues w/ (electrical) the day i went (7-3-09), but i believe that will be resolved shortly. So i’m a bit confused as to the reason the pump is there, but i’m assuming it assists in maintaining the flow of the water & is not there to suck it out of the ground. I was able to get a decent trickle of water the day i was there regardless. As is often the case with other springs, i’m assuming the pressure ebbs & flows. Another couple there stated that the flow i witnessed wasn’t nearly what they’re used to seeing, but the ranger stated it was working fine the day before. The park ranger also stated the spring has been there for many, many decades & that locals come from all around incessantly to fill their water, & that it is tested frequently. He had a test result page @ the Visitor Center, but not an extra one for me to take w/ me. He stated there is another posting of test results (mineral content/ppm?) at the hut where the water is, but i forgot to look for it when there, (didn’t see it). According to the ranger, this water was exported all over the world about 100 years back! He stated it was the best water around. I have to say that i THINK i liked the taste of this water better than my usual source of water in Exeter NH (oak st. extension), but it’s too premature to cast my vote…
