Whitewater Artesian Well, Whitewater, WI

## Overview The Whitewater Artesian Well is a hand-dug artesian well located in a small roadside park along Clover Valley Road, just south of Whitewater, Wisconsin. Measured at approximately 55 feet deep, the well taps into a natural underground aquifer and delivers a steady, fast-flowing stream of water through a pipe attached to the wellhead. The well has historically been used as a drinking water source by locals and visitors alike, though no recent lab tests have been published to confirm current water quality. The water has been reported to taste clean and fresh, and the site is commonly referred to as "Flowing Well" by area residents. The well is freely accessible to the public around the clock, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It sits in a quiet, rural setting surrounded by farmland in Walworth County — a peaceful stop for anyone exploring the countryside south of Whitewater. ## Directions The corrected GPS coordinates for the well are **42.785508, -88.715149** (note: these differ from the listing pin and are reported to be more accurate). 1.
