By taste! lol. Where I grew up there were a lot of natural springs and as far as I know they were never tested. If one spring made people sick I am sure word would have gotten around.

BTW, here is a site with a listing of springs in NC. Seems like the closest might be Sulphur Springs.

i know the city used to come out and test the particular spring I was talking about, 'cuz they closed it a few times due to high bacteria levels. Well, they didn't close it, but they would post warning signs when it was bad, usually in the summer.

"Warning" signs to swim in it or drink it?

Now, of course you know I'm pulling your chain. What do I know about drinking from a natural spring?
