About This Spring

Video Description "Special thanks go to YouTube user DDELMARSMITH, who told us about this source. Even though it doesn't have a very low TDS level like the Kearney Natural Spring it is quite special. It has a unique blueish-purple violet colour as you can see in the pic and vid. It is believed that this water comes from the area's ancient underground glacier. My one water sample was positive for both Total Colifrm bacteria and E.Coli bacteria. Although this water was safe for us both, we did not experience any serious side effects. I encourage you to continue taking samples.
