About This Spring
## Overview Schofield Spring is a natural spring water source located in Willington, Connecticut, in Tolland County. The spring offers 100% natural spring water and operates as a self-service filling station where visitors can bring their own containers — from single gallons to five-gallon jugs — and fill them using a coin-operated vending system. The water has been locally appreciated for its taste and quality, and the spring has developed a loyal following among residents and visitors seeking an alternative to municipal tap water. The facility operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, making it convenient for anyone to stop by at any time. In addition to individual customers, Schofield Spring also supplies bulk water to tanker trucks via keyhole regulators, allowing commercial distributors to fill up at their convenience and transport the water to customers across the region. ## Directions 1.

Visitors should bring their own clean containers — gallon jugs and five-gallon bottles are the most common choices. The process is straightforward: insert your container, add your payment, and the spring water fills your bottle automatically, similar to a vending machine. Because the station is open around the clock, you can visit at whatever time suits your schedule. The water has been reported to taste clean and fresh, and many local customers return regularly. While the spring water is natural and unprocessed, visitors should use their own discretion regarding consumption, as conditions can change over time. For those interested in larger quantities, Schofield Spring accommodates bulk water purchases for commercial tanker trucks, with metered usage billing.
