    I visited this spring today and it is great. The TDS is really low, between 12-13, and the water tastes wonderful.

    Stopped here June 21, 2010, since we were visiting family in Swannanoa. Incredible tasting water; used my TDS meter and TDS measured 6.0…wow! Wish we could find a spring in TX close to our home.

    had a hard time finding it, did not see the sign or the spring behind the mailboxes – dangerous place to hang out at the top of the hill due to traffic so i abandoned.

    never mind found it – it was too easy. better tasting than hot springs nc.

    It says that the water is untreated so drink at your own risk.
