About This Spring

## Overview MOMBA Park Spigot is a public drinking water spigot located in the Dayton, Ohio metropolitan area, situated at approximately 39.8147°N, 84.0942°W. The spigot is found within or near a municipal park setting, offering visitors a convenient place to fill up water bottles or grab a refreshing drink. The name "MOMBA" may refer to the Miami Valley Mountain Bike Association, a well-known trail advocacy group in the greater Dayton area that maintains mountain biking trails and park amenities in the region. If so, this spigot likely serves hikers, mountain bikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts who frequent the local trail systems. The GPS coordinates place this spigot in the vicinity of Montgomery County, Ohio — an area underlain by glacial till and limestone bedrock, which often yields clean, mineral-rich groundwater. While the exact source of the water feeding this spigot is not confirmed, municipal park spigots in this region are typically connected to treated city water supplies. ## What to Expect Visitors can expect a standard outdoor water spigot in a park environment. The surrounding area near Dayton is known for its extensive network of recreational trails and green spaces, making this a practical stop for anyone exploring the outdoors. - **Water Source:** Likely a municipal water connection, though the exact source has not been independently verified. As with any public spigot, water availability may be seasonal — many park spigots in Ohio are shut off during winter months to prevent pipe freezing, typically from late November through early March. - **Access:** The spigot appears to be in a publicly accessible park area. Look for it near trailheads or park facilities. - **Surroundings:** The greater Dayton area offers a mix of wooded trails, paved bike paths, and open parkland. If this spigot is associated with MOMBA trail systems, expect well-maintained singletrack trails popular with mountain bikers and trail runners. - **Parking:** Most parks in this area provide free parking lots near trailheads. Note that water quality and availability cannot be guaranteed. If the spigot is connected to a municipal supply, it has historically been treated and maintained to public water standards, but conditions can change. Visitors may want to check for any posted notices at the site regarding water status.
