The OxHorn spring is temporarily closed due to mud and silt, after repairs are completed it should not be used till professionally tested.


UPDATE: Spring has been repaired. However, it is NOT RECOMMENDED that it be used until the water can be tested.

UPDATE (July 14, 2020): After inquiring with a few people, it is unknown if anyone has tested the OxHorn Spring. We recommend not using it until someone states it has been tested and that it is safe for consumption. If anyone has any information about it being tested or that it is safe to consume, let us know in the comments on the post on our Facebook page or send us a message.

UPDATE (August 2, 2020): Several community members advised they are actively using the OxHorn Spring for water consumption and they have had no issues. However, the water has not been officially tested. Please use the OxHorn Spring at YOUR OWN RISK until official water testing can be performed.

If you would like to assist with getting the OxHorn Spring officially tested, a water testing kit can be obtained for free from the Agriculture Department located in Lightstreet. After a sample is collected you would send it to Penn State labs who would process the sample. There is a nominal fee for this process from Penn State labs.
