    Just went here yesterday. Be careful of the Google Maps directions when turning off NY-135N. Take the WOODBURY exit toward 25East. Don't continue to Jericho (end of Expressway) that will put you on 25West....e.g. the opposite direction. Even though I got turnaround I finally made it and it was well worth it! Thank you Daniel!
  • Living in Cold Spring Harbor is my dream. The view is amazing, and the village quite, but in the same time developed and civilized.

    HI Guys,

    Used to get water from Cold Spring Harbor's spring, but since I've been talking with some raw foodists, locals, and spring water enthusiasts, there might be something else in the water. From what I understand, Cold Spring Harbor laboratories is right there and that's where they do DNA work. Seeing how the lab has been there since before EPA standards or most likely any strict standards were put into place, I got a little wary of getting my water from there. Most likely, these little take home kits can't check out molecular bonding, so until someone or "WE" test it to that level, I'm going to stay clear for a while.

    I have been drinking this spring water for about 3 weeks. It tastes a lot better than tap water. This site posted TDS 20. Anyone know more infor about this spring's water quality?
    Thanks
  • Anthony
    google wine jugs or glass carboys
  • Kat
    Where do you get the giant glass bottles? I am so excited and grateful to have found this.
  • Check Better-Bottle.com or fine a local wine/beer supply company. Big glass bottles are ideal, but can be very dangerous and extremely heavy. Consider using highgrade plastic during transportation, or bring cardboard boxes (usually when you buy the bottles they will come with these) and put the bottles (dried off of course) in the boxes when you drive back home.

    These guys sell glass carboys in the city- Italian made and Mexican made. I think you can get rubber protectors for them, but I don't know where. Mountain Valley Spring Water delivers water in 5-gallon glass jugs also, and they have bulky plastic containers to protect them. Maybe you could contact them about where to get some.
    THe carboy link is here- http://www.brooklyn-homebrew.com/Brooklyn_Homeb...
  • dlg1976
    Oh, they also sell Better Bottle carboys which are, indeed, super light and durable. I'm always a little skeptical about new technologies and toxicity, but these seem to be pretty tight. You could also load up in a BB and then siphon it into glass when you get home- assuming you have the space for all those extra jugs!

    I went here a couple nights ago and the water doesnt feel or taste good to me. It tastes clean but it also had a after taste that felt like tap water. Other springs ive tasted i could tell were great very easily. There might be some other springs in the state parks in suffolk.
  • We just went here this evening...it is right across from the library next to a long dock that goes out to the harbor. The TDS read 20! Very nice. There were three other groups there getting water as well, so all seems fine. Drinking the water now...very tasty and clean. Happy to have this option from NYC instead of having to cross over to NJ. No tolls and easy driving the whole way.
  • Hey Anthony. There's another Anthony posting here w/o a picture attached. Is that you too? He/you says he's not that into the water here after all. I'm in NYC and am looking for local options for spring water. Have you been to any that you'd recommend? A 2+ hour drive wouldn't be too much. Thanks! D
  • Hi Dave...that other anthony is not me...(rawmodel.com)

    This water is fine...easily the best option if you are in NYC. A quick drive on the BQE out to Hicksville then head north for 15 minutes. WAY faster than Stokes out in NJ. We still prefer stokes, but if time is a concern, I have NO problem getting water from here. TDS came up 40 for me. The water is cold, but not as cold as it could be because of the long tube it comes out of. I would go.
