About This Spring
## Overview The Evans Road Spring is a year-round flowing natural water source located in Milpitas, California, within Santa Clara County. Situated along Evans Road just northwest of its intersection with Stemel Road, this roadside spring has been observed flowing consistently for well over a decade by local residents who pass by regularly. While the water has not been formally tested for quality or safety, it has been used by visitors over the years. The spring's reliable, year-round flow makes it a notable natural feature in an area that is otherwise largely suburban and industrial.
