Artesian Well Park
Salt Lake City, United States
Artesian Well Park is a small pocket park near downtown Salt Lake City, Utah, built around a natural artesian spring that flows without pumping. The park occupies a quarter acre at the southwest corner of 800 South and 500 East. The spring has been used as a public water source since at least the late 19th century and continues to attract visitors from across the Salt Lake Valley. The well is monitored by Salt Lake City's Department of Public Utilities and meets federal and state requirements for drinking water, although low levels of naturally occurring perchlorate have been detected at concentrations below those the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has identified in past health-risk reviews as unlikely to warrant national regulation.
