Hi there admin! Please check out my blog. I am an artist and did an “art gesture” with handmade cups this week at the Pryor site. Thanks so much for your info!

When I went for water last summer, someone told me that the city has taken over the site and now pumps city water into the Pryor Ave. site. Any answers?
see this site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pryor_Avenue_Iron_Well
Doubt it because you can smell and taste the iron in it…which goes away after about 4 days or so sitting in the fridge.
Is the well now open? We were there on Sunday and it was closed. thank you
I went there today and it was open.
I too am curious why it is. Closed and when will it open again. And if there is anything we can do or anyone to communicate to.
I was there yesterday, Sept.25th. It is open, and water is still wonderful, Have been going there for over 70 years.
i grew up drinkin that water, it taste like iron and should be shut down.
Does anyone know the fluoride content (if any) found in the pryor ave well? I read somewhere it is comparable to city tap but am hoping that is false.
Any idea what the fluoride level is in this water source? Any testing info available? Many thanks!
Is the well water safe now?
Was here today and no water was flowing. Any updates????
Sad face
This water is absolutely delicious. I fill up whenever I pass by.
Well had a sign on it a couple years ago about water containing trace chemicals. Been going to spring in Big Bend since and drinking from there with no issues.
