Its nice to have a place to get well water thats not doesnt have fluoride or chlorine
So awesome to have access to this aquifer.
As a young boy I would stop by to get a drink of the water. Shure it tasted like iron. Thus the name. But it was cold and refreshing on a hot day. That was back during the 1950s. I am surprised that it is still there.
Artesian wells are a great find. There is a slight iron taste to the water, which I dont mind - just a sign of minerals in water. I have used this water as my primary drinking water since August 19.Well is maintained by City of Miwaukee. The Dept of Health has posted a notice that a trace mineral, strontium, in water exceeds daily recommendations. (Might be a concern for children, pregnant women.) Do your own research.
Interesting historical landmark thats a natural spring. Great water if you like to consume strontium-90, but not recommended.
A great well with clean water.Did you know that the aquifer underneath the well is connected to Lake Superior, and not Lake Michigan?
Great Neighborhood Groceries Awesome Service very Professional..
I forgot to bring some1 gallon jugs to fill up my2 4 gallon tanks to the brim. (BTW. There IS- a street light over the Dells pipes so is REASONABLY safe at night.)
Lots of water flowing out of this well. I regularly fill up water bottles, and most of my drinking water comes from this well. A slight taste, with 135 ppm dissolved solids. A high level of strontium, according to the sign posted. I dont mind the strontium since it can help strengthen bones.
My favorite joint, never disappoints. Bartender is always consistent and has an ironic sense of humor.
Still pumpin that water
Discovered this while playing Pokemon Go..err my freind was playing . Yes that what im sticking to. The water tasted funny. Fun History!
This is the oldest working and only working well left in Milwaukee County. It is always crisp and cool and it is free to all who bring containers. It tastes like a good iron well should.
Interesting historical site. It was extremely popular during the crypto outbreak in the early 90s. Even though there is a sign advising not drinking the water many still get jugs of water from there to drink. Ive drank it myself while on bike rides, tastes good and nice and cold naturally
Excellent historical n working well
This kind of well has been here forever. The water does have an acquired taste due to the iron & mineral content. This is a free site. Bring your own container to fill.
Good water for your outdoor plants.
Great place! We were here because it is a geocache. The history is fascinating. We took water home with us, too.
Back in time experience interesting taste definitely different than bottled water I enjoy it
1 of the oldest watering holes in the city. Take all my drinking water home from there.
Too much for cactuss do not water those with this
Unique stand alone taste. Great for knocking back a good Scotch!
Water tasted too much of iron
Cool historic spot built in 1882! Strontium doesnt appear to be that dangerous, but drink at your own risk. I always get confused an turn on Iron St...this is on Pryor.
Kinda cool I guess
Its water, so not much to say there.However, its a cool little unique place to go if you have someone visit from out of town.
Water has a very high iron content (hence the name), so that affects the taste. Rumor has it that letting the water settle a bit resolves this. Also - its clean and independent of the city water, so when the zombie apocalypse happens and the water supply is tainted, this place will be a madhouse.
Good free water
Just bring ur own. ContainerAnd. Drink
Refreshing water from a source separate of lake michigan. said to have high levels of strontium.
Great place to visit just dont drink the water everyday but check out this historic well
The best water in the world!
Waited for a server, had to get it myself. Grrr
Interesting local attraction. People used to bring empty cartons to fill with water.
Well... Its a water well
Out drinking water for free and so refreshing
Rare to have water this clean and tasty.
Great water
Thats some good h2o
Dont forget the fresh well
Dont drink that water must I wanna shorten your lifespan
My husband has been drinking this water since he was a boy, over 50 years.
Perfect water!
