How nice-free water. I see you're from NY. We took a drive vacation there a year and a half ago and went waterfall hopping. There is so much beautiful fresh water there.
This past week we took our vacation to the fresh water springs of Florida (Manatee Springs). There are more natural fresh water springs in FL than any other state. Isn't that amazing?
There are many state parks with swimming springs but I never saw a water dispenser. There should be.
I looked on the water jugs in WalMart and the water comes from a city in Central FL with a natural spring.
Unfortunately I live in the SW part of FL-no springs just salt water 20 minutes away. |

| Wild Rose, WI has a free water spigot by the side of the road in the parking area by the river, of the WR Hospital where you can fill jugs with SPRING WATER. Lots of the state parks in WI have places to fill jugs with well water. They are popular since the water out of the taps here is the contaminated water from Lake Michigan. The sewers empty untreated into the lake and then lake water is sucked up for us to drink. If anyone was every sickened by the cryptospordian outbreak in '94 you will never want to drink the tap water again. There is still small amounts of crypto in our tap water. People always laugh at those who buy bottled water thinking we do so for the "image" but those people don't live in Milwaukee and have never been sick from water. |
