The Pit Laforest's well is located at Joliette, Quebec, Canada.

Since 1902 this well has given a impressive quantity of sulfurous water. This water would have good effects on digestive system.

This artesian well is found on Doster Road in Prattville, AL. Prattville is called "The Fountain City" because of the number of artesian wells found all over the city. This is just one of many.

22nd

The Perine Well, one of several artesian wells located at Cahawba, Alabama, the first permanent state capitol of the State of Alabama. Cahawba is near Selma, Alabama.

The well was drilled to serve a factory that did not materialize. It was then used to water the grounds, a garden and pastures. In addition, by forcing water through pipes into his $50,000 home, E.M. Perine, a merchant prince, had the first air conditioning in Alabama. Fry's history relates that, when drilled, this was the deepest known well in the world. Flow is now estimated at 1,250 gallons per minute from a depth of 700-900 feet.

 

19th

This a beautiful artesian well that we discovered on the snowshoe trail on Mont Caribou (GCQV0K). As you can see it was a great day.
 

19th

I actually found this cache on Nov. 19, but due to computer problems, the pictures were misplaced. Well, I finally found them and am posting now.

This is an artesian well located north of Anderson, IN. Someone has actually stuck a fire hydrant in the ground to allow the water to flow out. If I was to stand next to the hydrant, the water would come up to my waste. That's how deep this area is. But the water is cold and clear. And it tastes pretty good, too.
 

18th

We found this Artesian Well during a Cachetour with Team Snowdream in NRW, Germany. On the Photo is Carsten from Team Snowdream an I made the photo.

This is an artesian well in Kenosha Wi. that many people from the area claim as the best water they have tasted. It is currently stopped or diverted for the winter.
 

17th

Artesian well in Petrified Springs Park, Kenosha, Wisconsin. The well is usually running, but has been temporarily plugged for the winter.
 

17th

This well is very popular at the township of St-Alphonse-de-Rodriguez. Its contribution to fill many many gallons of highest quality water is well-known.

Unfortunately a big snowstorm of 45cm(18 inches)covered the county yesterday. So the well is hard to see, and hard to reach because the path is full of fresh snow. Trust me it's here,I wanted to fill my jars but they would be too much heavy to go back in my car. I am obliged to wait that the town service clean the place.

16th

This well is a VERY popular spot in Lynnwood, WA and I have come here for years. There was a previous physical cache right at the overhead structure which didn't last long. Another, better version is a short distance away. The two outlets of this well flow 24/7 and I have never been there day or night when there wasn't a line of folks waiting to fill jugs. Recently they have put chain link fencing around the well for some unknown reason. There is also a new wooden viewing platform but it's on the other side of the fence.
 

15th

Found this well on a farm in a remote valley near Pilgrim's Rest, Mpumalanga Province, South Africa. The water is 100% clear, cool, and tastes great.

7th

First, I must say that I don't know if the cache owner, Team Crystal Miners,permit my find or not.
It is in the river-side sport park, Xin-Zhuang, Taipei. I don't show the flowing water, because there is an iron wire tied up on the well. However, I saw some water near here(See Pic-1). I trust the water was suck by the well, but I'm not sure if I can use it or not. So......[8)]
If I use it in the future, I'll upload the pic of the flowing water!!!

Found once before back in October 2003, but visited again by us, as it's only 2 miles away from home. Pokagon State Park has done some recent landscaping around the spring to make it look like what it did back in the 1930s when early park visitors came to fill their jugs. Should look nice next spring when the grass is growing!

This well is located in Sulphur, OK in the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. If you've never visited this area before you're in for an olfactory surprise! Vendome well was a popular local attraction as promoters claimed water spouted 30 feet in the air. Because of the popularity of the mineral water 13 trains a day used to bring visitors to this area. This spot has several small taps spouting water in addition to the large one in the photo.

2nd

Double Artesian Well in Slovinky, east Slovakia.
 

29th

Packanack Lake,East Side, Wayne, NJ Very close to my home . The artesian well is used to pump cold water into the swim area of the lake, the idea is to keep the water clean and to prevent algae bloom, it works with varrying degrees of success, the lake itself is man made and fairly shallow for the most part, so in the heat of the summer the algae is problematic. The cold artesian water helps. It is located at the botton of a valley in Wayne NJ. I enjoyed locationless caches as much as any other kind.

27th

This is an hot Artesian Well located in Eastern Montana. It is located on private property but knowing the owners we have been coming here for many years. The way this well came into being was they were drilling for oil when they struck the hot water. I have many pictures we have taken over the years but never had the gps in them. We had hoped to get out before dark but it got cloudy and rainy so the pics don't do the area justice.

Sulphur, Oklahoma. Artesian well established in 1922. The town is named this due to the sulphur water. There is a drinking fountain just out of view to the right of my picture, but from the smell I wouldn't try it. They say if collect sulphur water and let it sit for a few days the sulhpur taste/smell goes away. I'll stick to bottled water.

6th

This Artesian Well is located just South of the city limits of Ponchatoula, LA and just off U.S. Hwy 51. It is one of many in this area and they are all approximately 540 feet deep. It originally flowed out of a 2 inch pipe and has now been reduced to flowing out of a 3/4 inch garden hose. It flows 24/7/365 and is frequented by residents of New Orleans who haul this excellent drinking water back in gallon jugs. They fill the back of trucks up with the jugs and take it back for drinking, ice, cooking, etc. The public water system for New Orleans comes out of the Mississippi River which is the septic pipe for half of the U.S. (uch)and therefore dosen't taste very well even after being purified.

Found next to Hameln, during the search of cache of course!

These are photographs of Bibbawarra Bore, near Carnarvon in Western Australia. The bore was used to provide water for cattle in, and passing through this area, and the trough (into which the water flowed) was at the time, was 180 mtrs long - the longest in the southern hemisphere. It allowed the water to cool down enough for cattle to drink.
