There is no comparing fresh spring water, or a good well water, with
any city treatment water I have ever tasted. My parent's well is down
in deep limestone and comes out cold and it is very hard. When they got
a water softener I thought it was awful tasting. I used to go outside
to drink the fresh pump water.
