IcewaLter,
I'll certainly make up to Cooper Spring this summer. Sounds amazing!
A gift for you – a treasure hunt of sorts. When in Monson, find High Street. Go up the hill until you pass the seepage spring I posted ( 64 High St.). Continue another 200 feet and you'll see a car pull-off (also on your left), walk down the path and partake.

I like the fairly ferrel fellow posing there New Dawn. I was there last week, I got an identical picture minus the dog. I would have missed it if someone was not gathering from it just as I approached. Between this and Healing Springs, I got to pick my Healing waters but this is still a great find and interesting area. Antique shops everywhere!! And you got to make the trip to Cooper Springs Maine. Go from star power to Super Nova Style!!

Is anyone interested in sharing the cost for testing this spring?
NTL Labs is a great resource that tests everything.
Here is a sample test report:

The total cost for this is $177.95. If we could get 4 or 5 users (or more) of the spring to pitch in, it would be great, and we could have a highly confident source of supply.
What do you think?

Where do you typically send samples for testing (that is affordable within reason)?

Update: 10/8/09

Spring is DRY.

no water coming out of the white PVC pipe.

It could be that this is a seasonal or random flowing spring.

Very good tasting water. I may send a sample for tseting.
