This spring was established in the late 1800's. Several years of sediment and debris have reduced the holding capacity so it's time to clean it out. Here's a quick and easy tip for how you can do just that!

Clean it out and fix it up. You can never tell when you might need to use it.

The spring is gravity feed through a pipe that allows us to use it in the house as well as an outside hydrant. Primarily we use it for watering the garden and outdoor washing chores. Thanks for the comment.

Please do another on rebuilding or maintaining old historical outbuildings like this! You have no idea how little is out there on the topic.

I have a dry stack of rocks in my back yard that looks somewhat like that and surrounding it is really damp soil that seems to seep out of between the rocks like a rock filtered landslide. So many mosquitoes and crane flys around it. It’s totally filled with fill though. I wonder if it was a well or spring house at one time? My borough does not know either.

Have you thought of making a scoop of hardware cloth and window screen so you could sift out bigger stones while allowing silt and mud to get flushed downstream?

Do you have any other videos on this style of spring house with respect to maintenance, repairs, etc.?
