Georg,  I was also suprised to find worms at the bottom of our spring house
when cleaning it out after a rain, in the mud and silt under three feet of
water.  This water comes into the house and is used for general use .  We
have developed another spring for our dirnking water, which consists of a
pipe in the ground where the spring water flow out, under a large Juniper,
with a ground cover
of mind.  This is truly living water, and I have been dirinking from this
spring for 26 years.   jerome
