We have been using the Bay Tree Spring for 5 years. We had the water tested in the spring of 2008 and it tested positive for coliform. We boiled, but this altered the great taste of the water. We tested again in November 2008. And it passed. When we saw the everything short of a "skull and crossbones" warning on April 21st, we built an ozone generation system. It is great.
But now the US Forest Service has interim "capped" the spring to prevent usage. State DHS has driven this policy.
'Met with US Forest Service yesterday. They want the spring open. But those pesky recurring coliform. We proposed real-time ozone treatment of this water, solar powered.
The domain: http://www.friendsofbaytreespring.org was procured yesterday. Now we need to put content up. Build the support and activist community and get this valuable resource reopened. HELP?
