About This Spring
## Overview The Mildmay Artesian Well is a beloved public drinking spring located in the charming village of Mildmay, Ontario, Canada. Situated within Mildmay Rotary Park, this artesian well delivers naturally flowing spring water through three installed taps, making it easy for visitors to fill bottles, jugs, or simply enjoy a refreshing drink on the spot. The water has been widely praised by visitors as sweet, cold, and perfectly satisfying — a testament to the natural filtration that occurs as it rises under artesian pressure from underground aquifers. The well has long been a community gathering point, maintained with pride by the local Rotary Club. There is no harvesting limit, and the site is completely free and open to the public 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. While there is no charge for the water, a donation box is placed next to the taps for those who wish to contribute to the Rotary Club's ongoing maintenance and community projects — a thoughtful gesture that helps keep this resource available for everyone. ## Directions **Corrected GPS Coordinates:** 44.046093, -81.122945 **Address:** 130 Elora St, Mildmay, ON N0G 2J0, Canada 1.
