Unnamed Arkansas

It is a swift moving stream that moves water from the top of a hill to a natural rock area with walls approximately 3 feet tall. A PVC pipe is visible through the back wall of the hill at the bottom. It can be found about 2 feet below the floor. Large containers can be placed there and filled.

Before I was born, the spring had been capped. The water pipe is marked with the number 1908, which was hand-etched into the concrete. This number may indicate the year it is constructed. The water is drained into a storm drain by a pipe located 3' above the concrete basin. It makes it easy for water containers to be filled. It's situated in a concrete area measuring approximately 10x10x10ft with 4' tall concrete walls. It once had a 3 foot tall screen wire wall made of wood on top of the concrete walls. The roof was removed years ago. To pay off the construction, the original builders put a deposit box in the corner. Then, they gave the water away for free. People travel from all parts of the city to obtain water. It flows year-round, without restriction.

Description:
This roadside public spring has been in use for many decades. A spigot is located at the end of the spring. It is housed in a small brick and concrete enclosure with roof.
