So we purchased a property in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. It has this natural spring on it. From talking to an old timer that lives on the same road we found out that this concrete structure was build above it many years ago to water cattle. We’ve owned this property for almost a year and have never seen the water level waver from where it is now. We’ve owned haven’t made any improvements to the property yet but hope to build and be living there within the next few years.

I am wondering if it would be possible to tap into this spring for our household water. It’s just me and my husband so water for just us two for daily activities. Has anyone else done anything similar and what was your experience with the process or outcome?

For reference this structure is probably 8-10 feet across.
