Description

Spring water is directed from the east via a PVC pipe from the pine tree covered hill over the road drainage ditch to a cement holding tank. Tank, dated 1981, is covered with a green painted plywood cover. Steel pipe extends from the south side of the tank. Slate rocks below the pipe – perfect height to set a 4-5 gallon carboy to fill. Flow is continuous, approximately 1 gallon/minute. Sign states “State of Vermont cannot guarantee the quality of water.” additional homemade sign states “HELP keep this area clean.”

Description:

This spring is stagnant, bubbling up and pouring over the edge of the rocks enclosing it. It is off to the side of the road, not easily noticeable. It is at the bottom of a hiking trail, off to the side of a dirt turnaround/parking lot. There are huge stones that lead up to it. Use caution approaching the spring, for it is very mossy and wet…
