Artesian Well Park, Natural spring park in Salt Lake City, US
The park occupies a quarter acre at the intersection of 800 South and 500 East, featuring a natural artesian spring fed by an underground aquifer.
During the construction of the Salt Lake Temple in the 1890s, oxen transporting granite from Little Cottonwood Canyon stopped at this location for water.
Salt Lake City residents have collected free mineral water from this spring for over a century, maintaining a connection to their natural resources.
The park provides multiple spigots for filling containers with naturally pressurized water that undergoes regular testing by the Department of Public Utilities.
The spring water takes three years to filter through an aquifer extending from Red Butte Creek beneath the University of Utah to reach this location.
