Daniel I could not agree more with you. This is a fabulous spring and it runs incredibly fast and cold. It is loaded with minerals but one in particular is Lithium which was the name I knew this spring by. We love this spring and my sister from Mass. says its the best she too has ever tasted. what is also mind boggling is that springs less than a 1/4 mile away taste totally different. In Manitou that is the spring to drink and I love it.
Thank you for this site and what you are doing to promote natural health. GOD bless JB
Hi Jbutera,
My name is Mike and I’m on the road with my band. We will be in Colorado Springs very soon and I was wondering if you know of some other nearby springs. We are from southern california and religiously gather water from a spring around here. We will be in Colorado springs, Denver, and Avon.
Thanks so much. Love and blessings:)

fluoride, is a toxic element that bioaccumulates over time.
Hey man I just got your message!!! I dont know what happened but I am sorry I did not connect with you but I hope you did get spring water on your stay here. JB
OMG this is the best spring water I’ve found yet! Bubbly and effervescent with a delicious salty flavor. Unlike any of the other springs I have (so far) visited!
Will post video soon. . .
From the round-about at Ruxton you go barely a quarter of a mile. The spring is small, in a metal structure that looks like a phone booth in front of a building (that’s currently for sale!). Right across the street there’s an abandoned laundromat and a brisk building that looks like a pot dispensary (at least that’s what they look like in LA). Totally worth a visit. . .if you’re an aficionado, it’s almost a destination in itself. Wow! D
East or west of the roundabout? Thx!
It’s up Ruxton, just up from Hell’s Kitchen pizza and across from the Hemp Store, Antique Store, and what looks like a pot dispensary. Don’t know directions up there, but there should be a street name. Gd luck. D
Which direction is it from the roundabout? East or West? I know I’ve tasted it before, years ago, but with the traffic I want to make sure I stop in the right area….
Just tested the TDS. Came back at 970ppm
No surprise. I wouldn’t make this my everyday water, but it’s amazing for what it is.
What’s TDS?
Ah ok Total Dissolved Solids. The following article states: “The EPA Secondary Regulations advise a maximum contamination level (MCL) of 500mg/liter (500 parts per million (ppm)) for TDS. Numerous water supplies exceed this level. When TDS levels exceed 1000mg/L it is generally considered unfit for human consumption. A high level of TDS is an indicator of potential concerns, and warrants further investigation. Most often, high levels of
TDS are caused by the presence of potassium, chlorides and sodium. These ions
have little or no short-term effects, but toxic ions (lead arsenic, cadmium,
nitrate and others) may also be dissolved in the water.”

I filled up two gallon jugs from this spring – it’s delicious, tastes just like Perrier. The pH level tested out to 7.5. From the roundabout on Manitou Ave., you want to head west on Ruxton.
My children and I lived in the Springs some years ago, and Manitou became a second home for us. They loved to play around in the springs, and loved the ‘fizzy water’. We would fill up empty milk cartons and bring them home, and the kids loved making ‘pop’ with the water and Koolaid. I would really love to live there again.
There are actually two different places, that I know of anyway, with the water. The one that is pictured above, and down on the edge of town to the west is the one we usually went to. There is a big bronze statue of a Ute Chief and he is ‘pouring’ water from a jug. Its really awesome.
There are about 5 springs in Manitou Springs. To the best of my knowledge, there are zero springs in Colorado Springs. Go figure.
I did not mean to vote Tiffanyoneida up twice by accident for buying the building and bottling the water 🙁 I hope you haven’t taken away free access to this spring.

Hello! My name is Nye. I purchased the twins spring building a year and a half ago. My intention is to always have the font running and at some point put soaking pools in the back of the building. The front is going to be a hot yoga studio and a nutrition ctr. Please stop in and say hi! We will be making drinks with the spring water! 🙂

Good afternoon – I am the new building owner as of June 2017. We have rehabbed the building back to a great space and continue to keep the Twin Spring flowing for everyone to enjoy!
Is it possible to park close and fill up 5 gallon jugs?
Would the jug fit in the spring dispenser, under the spout?
