Right off of Willow st you find the entrance to a short path into the woods. At the beginning of this path you find a very large quartz crystal. I have not yet taken the temp or ph of the water.
Nearest Address
Willow st.
Directions from Nearest Address
From RT 6 take exit 5 and turn north.take a left onto Cedar St. Drive past the bamboo and look for Willow St. on the right. About a mile down Willow on the right you will find the entrance of the path with enough room to pull your vehicle off the road.
My understanding is that all h2o in the ground on Cape Cod is contaminated by pharmaceutical drug-leaching due to the high incidence of overprescribed opioids and antidepressants in thsi region – particularly, although not exclusively among the senior citizen population; I suggest not messing around with these trace elements in your system. They DO get into you – despite local authority’s opinion that levels have tested low. “Low” is subjective and I disagree with any assessment that opines that “low” is okay. We drink and cook solely from water that’s filtered using a reverse osmosis system. We supplement our diets with missing minerals other ways. All Cape Cod water is affected. TDS levels of our water is under 10. And we like that! Our entire family is now thinking clearly and free of disease. There is a huge difference in the quality of life of my family before and after. HUGE. If you are drinking local water, you ARE ingesting powerful psychoactive drugs affecting the body and mind. The reports on this are publicly available. Please be warned. God Bless. I hope someone finds this helpful.
I was a bit blown away with this spring from my 1st visit. Here's why…It was February and all the plants are brown and appear dead in New England. Not here. This supernatural life force water was making all the grass green around this spring. No joke. Everywhere except where the water flow touched was brown, but LIFE was blooming where it was wet. And it's located on a peninsula surrounded by the ocean yet pure fresh water ph 6.6. It's Surrounded by bamboo (removes saline) the Entrance has a Quartz boulder(piezoelectric energy), the Pipe is copper (energy carrier), the Plants are spiraling as they grow (vortex energy)All combine for this Elixer of LIFE.
we just went to this beautiful spring, but had a little difficulty finding it because the street you need to turn on to get there is not Church St. It is Cedar St. that you need to turn left on before turning right on Willow. We forgot our TDS meter but should get that reading soon. But beyond the data, we feel this is some very pure high vibe water. Thank you for sharing this one-der-ful gift with us!!!
This is delicious water but it is seven miles past the gps location on this link. The willow street that the gps sigle sends you is the willow st in sandwich. The spring is in BARNSTABLE. from the gps location drive seven miles down 6a willow street will be on the right. The street signs change from green with white lettering to white with black lettering. Tasty water. I hope this helps people find the spring. Thank you so much for your bounty of info 🙂
The property is private, but way off to the side of the owner’s house and nobody seems to mind. Quite often see others filling up. There’s a stone dedicated thank you to the person who piped the spring back in the 1940’s. The address is not in Marstons Mills. The actual address is 218 Willow St, West Barnstable, MA 02668.
I also had the water tested by the Barnstable Count Lab on 3/8/16 and the results were a bit different that the results posted a few years ago (se 12/1/13 comment):
Just put in 280 Willow Street, West Barnstable, Ma.
The spring will be on the off the street. You’ll see a line up of rocks and a little path. The springs water tasted great and the plants and ground around in look well nourished.
Me and my girlfriend went to this wonderful spring about 2 weeks ago and picked up about 23 gallons of water. The energy there is quite wonderful and the water taste great. It was out first time off the tap water or bottled water and it felt so pure and simple. Weve been really enjoying it. The TDS was 158 and we didn’t get the PH. Weve been drinking it for the last 2 weeks and loving it! We are going back this wednesday and will take the ph. We highly recommend this spring!
If you put 280 Willow Street in Barnstable on Google Maps, it will bring you to the house right before the spring. It’s just past that (northeast of it). There’s a small area to pull over with some rocks. Then it’s about 45 paces into the woods. Great water
I called the Barn TH regarding this water. Because it is on private property, they do not have to test it. They did, however, test it once years ago and found it high in salinity. It was suggested to filter it before using. I drink a lot of water and initially found it good. After awhile I wasn’t sure. Have many containers of it. Not sure which way to go. What does a tds meter test? Oh, when I was last there, met some fellows with many, many containers to fill and they claimed it to be pristine.
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.

okay so the tds meter read 130 ppm which is higher than we typically like.

Hello.
I just checked this spring out. I like the water. I wanted to inquire if anyone has had any extensive testing done on this water.
Thanks, Jim

I also had the water tested by the Barnstable Count Lab on 3/8/16 and the results were a bit different that the results posted a few years ago (se 12/1/13 comment):
Nitrate as nitrogen: 2.6 mg/L
Copper: None Detected
Iron: None Detected
PH: 6.6 PH at 25C
Sodium: 38 mg/L
Coliform: Absent
Conductance: 320 umohs/cm
The sodium is almost twice the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 20 and the county advises those on a low sodium diet to consult a physician.
Can anyone else offer comments about these test results. I like the water and drink it at room temperature with a squeeze/slice of lemon to up the PH.
Actually, with this link, you can see the entrance from the street. It’s where those little rocks are on the side of the road. https://www.google.com/maps/@41.7057978,-70.3839897,3a,75y,115.43h,72.78t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sdvH86CIz_Izvx87HnepjEg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656!6m1!1e1
