    I canot tell for sure from this video but the spot the they are shown taking water. is not the spout of the original spring. The state let the original grow over I believe it was call Kitatinny Springs and I can remember 40 years taking water from that spot of the original spring the best water I ever tasted ,The other water taps dont compare

    There is no fee if you go off season or off hours. The gatehouse is closed between Labor Day and Memorial Day and after 4pm during the summer. I've never had to pay to get water.

    I did a 'boil off' test of the water from this spring, and it unfortunately left quite a bit of white scale behind in my pot.. means that there is bad calcium in this water, and it's not an appropriate spring for drinking..
  • Name
    I have not encountered the scale Scott refers to and Ive been getting water there for months, and done such a test. I also know a few local residents who for years now get their water here with no such result. its still one of the areas best kept secrets.
  • I agree...the tds is very low here. Scott might want to make sure his bottle is really clean. Even if so...there is going to be something in there. He can keep drinking distilled if he is so turned off, but I would never ever abandon stokes unless something really serious came up. This water is so great.

    Scott...if youre close to NYC, check out Cold Spring harbor in Long Island.
  • Scott
    alrighty.. i'm going to give it another shot.. going there today to fill some bottles and see what I get :)
