Spring supply

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A spring supply is a provision of piped mains water to a number of consumers direct from a natural spring. The usual system of gathering water in a reservoir, treating and piping it to consumers is therefore not necessary. Water rates are not usually payable. The hamlet of Pinchinthorpe in Teesside, England, for example, has such a system. Residents have no sewage network and must use septic tanks.
