Today, efforts to bring more housing tracts onto the city sewer system have made the spring cleaner than it has been in many years. Continued monitoring of water quality and careful stewardship of our karst landscape will help to preserve a clean and beautiful park for generations to come.
Education is the best way to ensure this result. Teaching the connections between waste disposal, septic systems, and potential ground-water contamination in karst terranes is required.
For example, a bulk products disposal contractor recently pumped diluted waste molasses into a sinkhole on the north side of Springfield. The result was a fish kill in Clear Creek and contamination of a nearby spring.
