Hi there admin! Please check out my blog. I am an artist and did an “art gesture” with handmade cups this week at the Pryor site. Thanks so much for your info!

When I went for water last summer, someone told me that the city has taken over the site and now pumps city water into the Pryor Ave. site. Any answers?

Doubt it because you can smell and taste the iron in it…which goes away after about 4 days or so sitting in the fridge.

I too am curious why it is. Closed and when will it open again. And if there is anything we can do or anyone to communicate to.
