    I had the sense that there was going to be conflict over this spring the moment that I first arrived. I felt a strong sense that someone would feel the need to control that water supply. There are always control issues disguised as something else. I have never seen the area dirty or folks disrespectful. That's just a smoke screen. It's very sad that whomever is behind this felt better about life by denying others such a simple pleasure.

    Fortunately Control and fear are on their way out….and unity consciousness is on it's way in!

    Gliptic :

    Thanks for your insight into this matter that is more important than many realize.. It is as much about the water as it is about our dwindling freedoms here in AMERICA –
    supposed “LAND OF THE FREE” See if you can attend the water rally on Sunday and bring as many folks that you like and love along with your kindred soul !!

  • Dave

    PLEASE FOLKS – from NY NJ CT and those farther away who wish to support all of us.. remember the slogan united we stand – divided we fall !! Well you can support us now since
    they have taken away the Spring water that so many enjoyed – COME – to the Spring Water
    Rally this Sunday 10am – 3 PM – your Spring Water & freedoms may be the next to be effected by your local government's facist behavior. !!

    It's no longer in operation, I was there yesterday, June 13, 2010 and the flexible hose was completely removed. I located a galvanized pipe. This pipe now leads to the dock and ramp of the private boating club to the right of the former flowing spicket. The pipe is attached to a metal container under their board walk. A plastic hose discharges the overflow of the spring water, which was once available to the public. I don't know why it is not available any longer. I wonder who has jurisdiction over this spring.

  • organicgal

    Someone just emailed me to tell me she knows a biologist who has tested the water here (no idea when and why) and said the problem was coliform levels. I'd love to have a spring I could go to but only if the water is safe to drink as verified by unbiased scientific methods and sources.

  • David

    The Water at Cold Spring is fine to drink. I have the test results from National Testing Labs. I went to the Rally on Sunday and made a few signs Like SAVE COLD SPRING. What is Cold Spring without a Spring? I hope lot's of people took notice to our signs and go to the town meeting Tuesday night the 15th. Lot of good folks helped with the effort of saving the spring. Those trying to close the Spring must be Cold! There are alot of worse things to drink!

  • ace

    HEY…ITS CRAZY WHAT AMERICA HAS COME TO…YOU CANT EVEN ENJOY THE SIMPLE PLEASURES OF LIFE THAT IS PROVIDED BY NATURE. DOES ANYONE KNOW OF ANOTHER SPRING BESIDES THE ONES IN NJ OR NOT TOO FAR IN NY, BECAUSE I LIVE IN QUEENS. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

    UNITED WE STAND SO AT THE END WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

  • town resident

    If you go to the meeting this evening, this matter will not be opened for discussion. It will be scheduled for the next meeting.

  • Sewcrafty47

    I happen to be related to a board member from the boating club. Apparently someone in the winter slipped on the ice and is suing the town. Then the town stated the spring water spout belonged to the boating club so that is why it was moved inside the private club. The number of people pulling up to the spout with 5 gallon jugs to fill was outrageous. It wasn't only 1 it was more like 5 to 10 bottles.

  • Dave

    Ace,

    There is a spring on Staten island – haven't been there however.. Yes it is a sad
    thing and you hit the nail on the head – this is America – Land of the free yet you can't even take some simple spring water — the control freaks shut it down but – we have not
    given up yet !! We are going to be on their egotistical asses and are not going to give
    it up so easy!! They have all the money and still they are unhappy so they must “control you ” to get their jollies see the money still doesn't make them happy – they are miserable people – just show money doesn't bring happiness or hippy ness for that matter !!

  • Dave

    Please call “YOUR” local gov representatives and tell them you want the water back
    town supervisor- Frank Petrone -(631) 351-3030, councilman Mark Cuthbertson (631)351-3172
    councilwoman Susan Berland (631)351-3173 councilwoman Glenda Jackson (631)-351-3174
    councilman Mark Mayoka (631)351-3172 they are having a “closed door meeting with suffolk
    county heath dept folks on July 8th so it is important to call – sooner rather than later

  • Heather B.

    I am so upset that they closed down the springs. I grew up in Cold Spring Harbor and drank from those springs all the time. As did my ancestors before me. My family has been in Cold Spring Harbor from the beginning. I still go there to get a taste of the goodness. No one has EVER gotten sick from the water. EVER! So now they want to take away the reason they named the town Cold Spring Harbor in the 1st place. It's like taking the Oysters out of Oyster Bay!. And in reply to Dave, Thanks for the numbers. I will be making lots of calls come Monday morning.

  • Dave

    Heather & Friends of Freedom++++
    I brought three bottles of the water to my mom's house and she is 89 yrs old and she had her sister who is 85 with her and they tasted the water and said it tasted great ! You know I wasn't drinking this water for over 8 years and then I saw that they disconncted the hose and for me it was more about losing “OUR FREEDOMS” than drinking the actual water and now I thirst for the water in the worst way!

  • Dave

    A website has been set up to help get the word out on the issue at hand of “OUR” artesian well water being shut down – If you wish to get involved to have them give us back “OUR” water than please visit this website: Michael – a down to earth guy with a zest for
    life and a deep rooted feeling to do the right thing has devoted lots of time to set this up.

    Support the FOLKS @ COLD HARBOR – the town is going to be renamed

    Thank You All ! Oh by the way it is adjacent to Billy Joel Park. Is there anyone out there that knows Billy Joel ? – If so -step up to the plate and tell em what they have done
    – please tell em they shut off our SPRING – maybe he can even write a song about it !!

  • Roxanne

    It is NOT ridiculous! That is a very selfish attitude. It doesn't harm anyway that they do that. We as humans need water to survive, and they are completely allowed to do that. The water is a gift from the earth. In Japanese the word for “abomination” is the same as the characters for “to sell water” – because it is a birthright. You are 70% water, the planet is too, everyone has a right to the clean water that springs forth from the earth. And, if you watch videos by Daniel Vitalis (H20 Magic, for example), you'll understand why it's so important that it continues to be shared.

  • Roxanne

    *anyone

  • Roxanne

    Susan, youtube search “Daniel Vitalis,” and watch his videos. “H20 Magic” is a great starting point, it is a 14-part video series. He talks about water on many other series, including “Elixircraft” and “Invincible Health.” Educate yourself before you talk badly about spring water. It is the water we are all meant to drink.

  • Roxanne

    Really? Are you sure? How do you know this, and where are the cameras? Has anyone been convicted? I saw people filling up today.

  • Anonymous

    Selfish? Why? It is NOT selfish. The water is free and flowing all day, not like those filling up are hoarding it from others, everyone can get in on it.

  • Dave

    BILLY JOEL — you out there ?? Your park named “BILLY JOEL PARK” is adjacent to our now “DISCONNECTED” artesian well water hose.. Can you write and sing a song for US ?
    maybe the first line would go like this – in a town that was know as Cold Spring Harbor the rat bastards took away our water dah dah dah da da da da and our freedoms were gone and a dah dah dah and then HIT it heavy with the PIANO !! with a syncopated beat da da da da da kind of like you did for the Piano Man !!

  • Dave

    Good E FEN INK friends including Billy Joel !!

    The artesian well water is flowing again the town decided to connect the hose ! Guess they knew they should do the “right thing”.. Well guess there is hope for democracy !! even in a town full of hipocrites !! THANK YOU DAN VITALIS for your website !! Your site has helped us get out the word !!

  • Joe

    The water is back on and we are working on two projects for this WELL (it is not a spring). One, we want to get a testing program in place to determine quality, and secondly, we want to build a more natural looking stone structure for the water lines.

    Check out our website, coldspringharborspringwater.com, or email me at TurnOnTheWater@gmail.com. We need to find a mason who can build the structure and I am working on local landscape suppliers to donate the supplies.

    Thanks to all who signed the petition and to ToH Supervisor Frank Petrone for standing up to Suffolk County and turning the water on.

    This is just fantastic! Thank you Anthony — can you tell us where to get the water bottles and also is the spring shut down…?

    Hello Anthony,
    Can you tell us what is the latest situation regarding Cold Spring? Also, as any have asked; can you tell us where to get the bottles?
    Thanks buddy!

  • Annie

    Hi! Thanks for sharing! Where did you get the glass bottle from?

  • Linda Kenny

    I found out about all this to late, however, if you ever need support in the future, please let me know. Have you found all the workers you need? I am a mature woman and have not skills of that sort. I am enthusisatic and would help to support the issue in other ways if necessary. Keep up the good work. It is a beautiful project.

  • Linda Kenny

    Your response is an important one. Litter bugs are everywhere. The town should be charging fines for littering. If they can catch people on speeding, vagrancy and parking issues, the town can also watch for those that are dropping their goods where ever they please, this includes cigarette butts.

  • gary

    is this an actual artesian setup?? or spring?

  • Lumberjak1984

    This great. I relocated back from AZ and so happy to see theres someplace close to get real spring water. I wouldn’t even think of drinking any water that wasn’t purified from the east, so I had to buy my water. Im saying this because I found out something interesting. A few years ago I had a hair analysis and to my surprise I found had high levels of uranium in my hair. I couldn’t understand why since Im in the health field myself. then a few months ago I was talking to this Dr and he told me most all his patients had high uranium in their hair and many of his physician friends also found that in their patients. It immediately brought back to mind my own hair analysis. I asked him why did he think that was. He told me after a lot of hard searching he said her was told by some one that said if anything came up it would be denied. He said he found out that nuclear waste was being dumped in the mountains of Northern California. I though wow since they aren’t using the Yucca Flats facility in Nevada they were trying to hide it there. Now recently I came across an interesting article that spoke about a man that is an icon in the environmental movement. His name is James Lovelock. He is the creator of the “Gaia Hypothesis “. The article is ” The Creator of The Gaia Hypothesis Supports Nuclear Power”. He basically says that natural environments can withstand much higher levels of radiation that would be intolerable in cities. He states that we call the ash from nuclear power waste and worry about how we should dispose of it. Now heres the scary part. He next states” I wonder instead if we should use it as an incorruptible guardian of the beautiful places of the earth. Who would dare cut down a forest in which was the storage place of nuclear ash”. UNBELIEVABLE !! Now the whole watershed is contaminated with Uranium.

  • rawd

    Is this spring currently running?

  • rawd

    You can get glass carboys from Brooklyn Homebrew or online some place. There’s also Better Bottle which is lighter and won’t break. Supposedly it doesn’t leech plastic, but I have smelled a little something in mine. Still, it’s better than plastic and safer (and lighter!) than glass. Brooklyn Homebrew has some good people working there. . .they can help you out for sure.

  • gary

    yes, where did you get the glass bottles from?

  • http://www.rawmodel.com Anthony

    this spring is very much open and has a new pipe…enjoy!!!!
