Spring City Spring

## Overview Spring City Spring is a public drinking spring located in the heart of Spring City, Utah, at 99 N Main Street. Spring City itself is one of Utah's oldest and most charming communities, nestled in the Sanpete Valley at the western base of the Wasatch Plateau. The town — which takes its very name from the natural springs that have sustained settlement here since the mid-1800s — is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a historic district, known for its well-preserved pioneer-era architecture and its thriving arts community. Natural springs have long been central to life in Spring City. Early Mormon settlers were drawn to this area in the 1850s precisely because of its abundant spring water, and the springs have historically served as a primary water source for the community. This particular spring, situated right along Main Street, continues that tradition as a publicly accessible water source. Visitors have historically reported the water to be clean and refreshing, consistent with the cold, mountain-fed springs typical of the Wasatch Plateau's western drainage. ## Directions 1.
