The guide to Wisconsin flowing artesian wells

by James Meitner

Wisconsin is blessed with a bountiful supply of free flowing artesian water. Hydrogeologists report we have over 1000 artesian wells, but they can be hard to find. This book provides GPS data, addresses, photographs, and driving instruction to help you locate nearly 100 accessible Wisconsin artesian wells. I drank from most of them and found the water to be pure, icy cold and great tasting. One remarkable well produces one million gallons per day of beautiful artesian water! Wisconsinites and tourists are reluctant to drink questionable tap water or buy expensive bottled water after learning they can easily harvest fresh, pure natural artesian water. They collect jugs of artesian water for use at home or while camping. Some people drink artesian water because they believe it promotes good health. Children, Wisconsinites, and tourists love to watch this unique resource flow from artesian wells, some which are over 100 years old. This book includes the history of certain older wells and explains their importance to early Wisconsin. A convenient map shows where the wells listed in this book are located. It is possible with some pre-planning to tour all of Wisconsin and always spend nights within a reasonable driving distance from an artesian well.
