    South Hillsborough county gets its public water supply from this aquifer……Don’t know if there is a dipping place or faucet or not………….

    Springs are contaminated with pollutants from run off and over pumping. I would not recommend drinking directly from a spring without filtering.

    There is no provision for drinking the the water.

    I contacted Tampa park service about this spring and the water is not drinkable due to phophate mining in the area.

    That would be “phosphate” mining.  :)

    i havnt been here since i was like 17 and im now 32 back then the water was very drinkable. im not to sure about now. its cool to swim there especially down to the spring mouth where you can grab the grate covering it and feel the force of the water tryin to push you up. my favorite place to go swimming in the whole area cant stand salt water.
