Description
It is routed through a hose accessible to all on the side of Harbor Road. It is right across from the library next to a long dock that goes out to the harbor
Nearest Address
Cold Spring Harbor Library, New York
Directions from Nearest Address
Across the street and about 100 feet east.(It is adjacent to the boat launch ramp). Once you pass the library pull into the public parking lot on the right side- it is for the boat launch & hiking trails. If you are lucky, you will be able to make a left out of this parking lot & get a spot across the street- right in front of where the spring water flows.
Here’s a link for people concerned about the safety if the spring: https://www.coldspringharborspringwater.com/testresults.html
As far as updates go, I went there today and there were no pipes sticking out of the rock wall, but there still seemed to be some water flowing down through the rock wall itself so it looks like it hasn’t been shut off completely, just made pretty much inaccessible.
So here’s a thought: Long Island has four major rivers all fed by fresh water springs. 100% from ground water. The first is the Connetquot, per wikipedia: It starts just south of the Long Island Expressway from springs in the Lakeland County Park in Islandia, New York where it is called Connetquot Brook. The Carmans: Originates in Cathedral Pines County Park near Middle Island, New York. The Peconic: originates in a small depression on the west side of the William Floyd parkway adjacent to the Brookhaven National Lab. The Nissequogue: originates at Caleb Smith Park and flows to Kings Park, New York.
Now I’m not sure what exactly has to happen to bring these up and out of the ground and make them accessible to people, but you know what, I’ll be damned if I’m going to let them keep ANYONE from getting to the fresh water that the creator has provided for us. So if anyone has a better idea of what to do with this info, and wants to do something about it, please email me at schatzgh@gmail.com.
CSH has been shut down and the spring In statin island has been shut down. Imagine how many millions of people in NYC and LI and the surrounding areas have now been forced to consume nothing but fluoridated, chlorinated, health degrading tap liquid or suffer the financial consequences of contributing to
I have a sneaking suspicion that the problem with inconsistent access to the well may stem from the UN Agenda for the 21st Century. Suffolk County has signed up with ICLEI (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives) a NGO that works with the UN to bring the agenda locally with the intent to sign all of the US to it’s agenda.
The Town of Huntington is signed onto ICLEI, as well as many other towns in Suffolk. My town is also paying dues to ICLEI garnered from taxpayer money. ie WE are paying for our own demise through our taxes.
It is imperative for all of us to understand the implications of this Agenda 21.
“Behind the Green Mask” by Rosa Koire is an excellent little book with great information about this subject. Youtube.com has many videos on this as well.
oh man, i was loving this spring, and one day its gone, i can here the water running, i just bought a 5 gallon glass jug to fill up there with a sweep top pump,
Well it seems the Cold Spring Harbor Jurassic spring has been cemented shut. I turn my sites to the spring up the road. Shore Rd. Its the spring Gixxxerkim shows a video of. Wish someone would test it to see if its drinkable. I tested it to be TDS=24 pH=6.1 I’m thinking of letting my dog drink it for a little while first. My next closes choice of Jurassic spring in on Staten Island and the post there sound like that one is closed too. Millurn NJ has high TDS so thats out. May have to go back to filtering water like I was doing 2 years ago. All the water I drank since then was from CSH Spring. All! Lets get our spring back
Please call “YOUR” local gov representatives and tell them you want the water back
town supervisor- Frank Petrone -(631) 351-3030, councilman Mark Cuthbertson (631)351-3172
councilwoman Susan Berland (631)351-3173 councilwoman Glenda Jackson (631)-351-3174
councilman Mark Mayoka (631)351-3172 they are having a “closed door meeting with suffolk
I was down at the spring last night, whats left of it. The sound of rushing water has been replaced by a fan spray into the air. Not sure there is any way to capture water, now. Police have been sighted in the area. Probably deterring people from climbing down the steep rocky wall. I think the spring may somehow plug itself up. I may end up resurfacing someplace else like 30 feet offshore. Rather than hire the Greenpease submarine, if they have one, we should all do the following:

Gixxxerkim or Daniel Vitalis or LeighLon Anderson, Is the other spring 6 feet out in the bay at high tide a Jurassic spring? If it is, can you add it to the database? If its not can you tell Gixxxerkim what to do if he/she drinks it and gets sick as a dog.
I have a spring update. 2/23/13. TDS=47 pH=6.1 The spring has been vandalized in many places. The new location is just north of the dock, just under the lip of the retaining wall. The original 150 foot black plastic pipe has been reduced to a 1 inch metal pipe.(Silver in color) It is cut or broken just past an elbow that is inside the retaining wall mesh. It just so happened that some of the broken pipe catches some of the water and it dribbles down five feet to the south, from an abandoned hacksaw cut, behind the retaining wall mesh but still accessible using a narrow neck bottle to get behind the mesh. I hope someday the spring is re plumbed. I hope whoever cut the spring finds the help he needs. This is the 3rd time someone broke it.
This is the alternative location on Shore Road. When the Harbor Road spring is disconnected, broken, or frozen, this one seems to be in order. Its sometimes 6 feet into the bay though at high tide.
I wish Daniel Vitalis would add this one to the database. People have been drinking and testing this spring every year for many years. If its not a Jurassic spring I would say don’t drink from it, right? I’m filling my jugs but I haven’t drank any until I am sure its good water. There is a duck pond up the street. If that’s the source of the spring it my have poop in it.
Spring has been reopened for a while now. But this afternoon I was there and it wasnt’ running maybe frozen? I hear there is another outlet on shore road but I don’t know where.
They put up a brand new sign recently, like a HUGE warning sign that the water is not safe to drink, but it’s still flowing. Â I’ve seen several people who claim to have done independent testing, and even posted the results (and they were perfect) but I’ve also seen people posting that they have seen negative test results (but didn’t have the proof). Â I’m torn. Â The water tastes incredible, TDS is around 28-32 on any given day.
This great. I relocated back from AZ and so happy to see theres someplace close to get real spring water. I wouldn’t even think of drinking any water that wasn’t purified from the east, so I had to buy my water. Im saying this because I found out something interesting. A few years ago I had a hair analysis and to my surprise I found had high levels of uranium in my hair. I couldn’t understand why since Im in the health field myself. then a few months ago I was talking to this Dr and he told me most all his patients had high uranium in their hair and many of his physician friends also found that in their patients. It immediately brought back to mind my own hair analysis. I asked him why did he think that was. He told me after a lot of hard searching he said her was told by some one that said if anything came up it would be denied. He said he found out that nuclear waste was being dumped in the mountains of Northern California. I though wow since they aren’t using the Yucca Flats facility in Nevada they were trying to hide it there. Now recently I came across an interesting article that spoke about a man that is an icon in the environmental movement. His name is James Lovelock. He is the creator of the “Gaia Hypothesis “. The article is ” The Creator of The Gaia Hypothesis Supports Nuclear Power”. He basically says that natural environments can withstand much higher levels of radiation that would be intolerable in cities. He states that we call the ash from nuclear power waste and worry about how we should dispose of it. Now heres the scary part. He next states” I wonder instead if we should use it as an incorruptible guardian of the beautiful places of the earth. Who would dare cut down a forest in which was the storage place of nuclear ash”. UNBELIEVABLE !! Now the whole watershed is contaminated with Uranium.

Drinking pure spring water is one of the most important things we can do for our health. Our bodies are over 99% water at the molecular level, so water affects every aspect of our biology. Yet, not all water is created equal. Almost all the bottled spring water available is pasteurized for shelf stability, which neutralizes many of the powerful health benefits such as increased hydrogen, healthy probiotics, and crystalline structure. For more about why unprocessed spring water is the best water to drink, read this.
The best way to guarantee you are getting real unprocessed spring water is to collect it yourself. This is a short and simple guide filled with information about how to gather spring water. We will cover how to find a spring, how to collect the water, how to honor the spring, how to store the water properly and other tips.
FindASpring.org is the best resource for locating a spring near you. However, not all springs are on the map. First, check the map to see if there is a spring in your local area. If there is, look at the reviews and comments. Has anyone shared helpful information about flow rate or posted a water test result? Is the spring in a pristine area? Do a bit of research and make sure the spring is safe to drink from. If you have any doubt about the purity, don’t risk it and get a water test, HERE. If you don’t see a spring on the map in your area, there still might be some that aren’t listed yet. First, ask the older generation who have lived in your area a long time if they know. You can also ask people in your community who might already get spring water such as people at a health food store or at a farmers market. Another great option is to view A US forest service map, where many springs have been marked. You can view these maps through the Gaia GPS or All Trails hiking apps on your phone. The map overlay you want is USGS Topo. Not all are easily accessible or ideal for drinking, but some are and it can be a fun adventure to find them. We have found over half a dozen great springs this way.
Once you’ve found your spring, figure out how you are going to gather the water. Is it right on the side of the road and easy to access or do you have to hike to it? We recommend storing spring water in glass instead of plastic to preserve the purity of the water. It is better for the environment, your body, and the water. Even BPA free plastic has toxic chemicals that can leach into water and cause health issues. If you do want to use plastic for safety reasons when filling at the spring, we recommend transferring the water to glass as soon as possible. FindASpring is sponsored by Alive Waters, which offers beautiful reusable glass. They have a 2.5 gallon option, which is a convenient size for carrying that isn’t too heavy. They also sell handles that you can use to transport the jugs even more easily. If you have to hike to access the spring, we recommend putting the water jugs into an extra large backpack to hike the water out with ease. We use Osprey packs that hold 2 jugs each. You can also use a wheelbarrow or even a stroller depending on how easy a walk it is.
Filling 2.5 Gallon Alive Waters Jug
When you get to the spring, remember to first give back before you take. Springs are considered sacred in indigenous cultures around the world for their life giving water and also as a connection to the inner earth. A powerful and simple way to give back is to clean up. Is there any trash that needs to be collected? Could you move any dead leaves or sticks to improve the flow rate? Show up in service. Some other wonderful ways to give is with a moment of expressing verbal gratitude, singing songs to the water, offering the water an ethically sourced crystal, a feather, or some other physical gift. Flowers are a popular and beautiful thing to offer, but please be careful to source organic ones as most flowers from the store are sprayed with pesticides and can be toxic to put near a spring. Also, flowers can attract bugs as they decay, so it can be best to offer them to the flowing water directly or a little downstream from the spring head.
When gathering the water, fill the jug as close to the spring head as possible, never gather downstream. Be very careful as wet glass is extremely slippery. Make sure the lid is securely fastened. When transporting the spring water home, the jugs can sometimes slide around the car. Secure them in place or wrap them with towels or something so they don’t crash into each other.
How you store your spring water is essential. It is not pasteurized like spring water from the store, so it will start growing algae if left in direct sunlight. This is good because it means it’s alive! If the water you drink can’t even support the most basic life forms, how do you think it will support your body? Store your water in a cool, dark place such as a dark corner, pantry or closet. The fridge is ideal if you have room. Some people prefer to filter their water through a Berkey filter before drinking, but if the spring is pure, it’s not necessary. We drink our spring water completely unfiltered.
How long the water stays good for depends on how cold a temperature it’s stored at. Spring water is best fresh. We personally do not prefer to drink spring water past 2 weeks old. However, we know other people that will drink it at a month old. It’s great to get in a rhythm where you know how long the water lasts you and put your collection day on the calendar in advance.
I believe that water is calling us to reconnect with her in the deepest way, to gather our own water. Just like our ancestors did. Our ancestors didn’t have fancy water machines. They also didn’t create villages or settle where there was no water. Water was revered as the center of the community and the nodal point around which life could spiral out and take root.
Here’s to restoring the sacred connection with the waters of life.

What is the latest on this spring? and what is TDS?
Thanks
can someone please update is the spring open? Thannx
Spring has been reopened for a while now. But this afternoon I was there and it wasnt’ running maybe frozen? I hear there is another outlet on shore road but I don’t know where.
Could we get an update if this spring is open? NYC prices at $2.50/gallon for spring water is ridiculous and extortion to nth degree. Thanks!
Still running wanna go there tomorrow
I meant is it sill running?
Just got water from there today. Â TDS was 32. Â Water is excellent.
They put up a brand new sign recently, like a HUGE warning sign that the water is not safe to drink, but it’s still flowing. Â I’ve seen several people who claim to have done independent testing, and even posted the results (and they were perfect) but I’ve also seen people posting that they have seen negative test results (but didn’t have the proof). Â I’m torn. Â The water tastes incredible, TDS is around 28-32 on any given day.
There is another spring in the area with even lower tds- drinking from it for 3+ years now and feel great. email bajafresh [at] gmail for more info
Went there today,and the water was turned off! Anyone know what is up with this?
That’s weird! I just drove past there today 8/13 at about 11:30am and the water was on and people were filling up their bottles. Â
Is the water safe?
this spring is very much open and has a new pipe…enjoy!!!!
yes, where did you get the glass bottles from?
Is this spring currently running?
