There is a remarkable place called the Riverside Inn, built beside French Creek, which snakes across Crawford County.
In the late 1800s, the village of Cambridgeboro was swamped with visitors seeking recovery through mineral water. The presence of health spas spiked in 1903, when more than 40 spas and spring houses dotted the community that renamed itself Cambridge Springs.

Mantiou Springs city officials found an unwelcome ingredient mingling in the mineral-laden water of one of the city's historic springs.
Public works officials closed the Cheyenne Spring near the arcade in downtown Manitou earlier this week after bacteria was found in the water, said Danielle Oller, spokeswoman for El Paso County Public Health.

MANITOU SPRINGS - A case of mistaken identity of the oldest gal in town isn't cause for concern. It's reason to celebrate. Seems that lovely lady atop the town clock here isn't the Greek goddess Hygeia, as she has been known by Manitouans for 118 years. She's really the goddess Hebe. Not that it's a bad thing. "It's a step up," said Manitou Springs historian Deborah Harrison. "Hebe is the goddess of eternal youth, the daughter of Zeus." Hygeia, goddess of health and daughter of healing god Asclepius, fit the bill when mineral water bottling magnate Jerome Wheeler gave the statue to the town in 1890. Wheeler said she was Hygeia and nobody questioned it. Not the writers, artists or many Hygeia worshippers through the ages. She's the town's pride, the central point, Santa's first stop. Har...

Consumers have expressed concerns that consumption of demineralized water -- with levels of total dissolved solids (TDS) below 50 parts per million -- would deprive them of beneficial minerals. Ironically, critics of demineralized water, for this reason or other misconceptions, commonly buy bottled water, most of which has very low mineral content and is subject to even fewer regulations than public water.
Water low in TDS does occur naturally, but the dialogue is directed primarily toward waters produced by reverse osmosis, de- ionization or distillation, and which are intentionally devoid of constituents commonly found in water supplies, some of which are known or believed to be detrimental to health.

Coal extraction in West Virginia is accomplished generally by underground or surface mining. BOTH methods of coal extraction require the placement of fill structures, commonly referred to as valley fills in acknowledgment of the steeply sloped terrain that exists in West Virginia within small, usually ephemeral and intermittent gullies and erosional features. Underground mining techniques, which account for the majority of West Virginias coal production, utilize machinery to drive tunnels under the surface of the land. These tunnels are situated in coal seams so as the machinery advances further underground, coal is removed. The tunnels are supported by drilling long bolts into the mine roof to consolidate the overlying material. Using a combined system of vehicle haulage and conveyor b...

Most distribution pipes are coated with dangerous layers of mineral, biological and chemical deposits that re-contaminate the water as it travels from the treatment plant to your tap. And some'are very old, including lead-leaching cast iron pipes from the late 1800's. As the iron pipes corrode and break, not only does water escape, but outside contaminants get in, experts say. It is estimated that there are approximately 237,000 main breaks each year in the U.S. "Investigations conducted in the last five years suggest that a substantial proportion of waterborne disease outbreaks, both microbial and chemical, is attributable to problems with distribution systems," the National Research Council said in a study for the EPA released in December 2006.
