Best Water - Ontario

I was at this spring yesterday. I took home only about 35 litres which blasted through the outlet easily in 30 seconds. No one else was around for the 10 minutes I was there, and there rarely ever is as all this tremendous resource drains away. I've visited other springs too, but this one is special. Thought I would share. Please respect the place if you go! Drinking a litre of cold gold onsite is something you will really enjoy.

Chalk Lake spring on Lakeridge Rd in Uxbridge Township.
Very popular spot for decades and tested by the Region for safety.
I'm still on the turnip truck

It has been fine for myself over many years, however it is good to be skeptical, and test it before you drink it. I don't however.

Prefer the taste of water coming straight outta the kitchen faucet.

Many years ago went through a phase of drinking only spring water from the large jugs in the grocery store before realizing it was a colossal waste of money and not proven to be better than tap water.

Just since it isn't regulated stuff like animals with diseases could go drink some water, pee, poop all over that and you'd never know until it's too late. Other stuff like rusting, corroding, pollution, etc.

Quit making stuff up.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

Making stuff up? you're saying non of that could happen when drinking from a spring that isn't locked, enclosed, just out there. Where do you think animals would drink water? Probably from lakes, rivers, springs.

Yup. You're just making stuff up to create an unneeded fear. There is nothing to back your claim. Nothing.

Simmer down, I said it's possible, not a fact. Go drink your water from there I could care less, I won't.

You could run that through a Berkey/AlexaPure/Propur or something, no?
