About This Spring
## Overview Flowing Wells Spring is a beloved artesian spring located along Wrightsboro Road in Augusta, Georgia. This public drinking spring has long served as a free water source for residents of Augusta and the surrounding Richmond County area. The spring flows from an artesian well, meaning the water is naturally pressured from an underground aquifer and rises to the surface without the need for mechanical pumping — a hallmark of high-quality groundwater sources. The spring has historically been a popular stop for locals looking to fill jugs and bottles with naturally sourced water. Visitors have reported that the water tastes clean and refreshing, and the site has been used as a community drinking water source for many years. As with any natural water source, conditions can change over time, so visitors should be aware that water quality is not guaranteed. ## Directions 1.
