Jesus, if you need that much cheap water do half of them and come back and do the rest at midnight when no one else is around.
Someone in the health department I met at a medical function, about three years ago, told me that that spring was polluted by the stuff drifting down through the soil from the railway station, and that the brewery now had to treat the water before using it. He also said the state government wanted the department to keep it hushed up, which was why they were still letting the public keep drawing from it, as the risk was not high (though high enough for the brewery to treat it before they used it.).
There was a link suggested between the need to clean up the railway area and the decision to mask doing so by moving the new RAH there.
