About This Spring
## Overview The Burnett Wisconsin Spring #1 is a beloved artesian spring located in the small village of Burnett in Dodge County, Wisconsin. Situated in front of the Peachy-Grain Elevators along Main Street, this public spring has been a community fixture for over a century. Locals have long drawn water from the spring, and it remains freely accessible to the public with no fenced boundaries or restricted access. The spring flows year-round through a 4-inch diameter pipe, delivering a strong and steady stream of artesian water. Its consistent output is characteristic of the artesian wells found throughout Dodge County, where pressurized groundwater from the region's glacially deposited sediments and underlying dolomite bedrock naturally rises to the surface. Visitors have historically reported the water to be clean and refreshing, and the spring has served as a trusted local water source for generations. ## Directions 1.
