In Bellefonte a natural spring bursts from a hill and powers a wheel. Water rises via iron pipes to a 300 foot hilltop reservoir and distributes to the town for streets. After serving 24 000 gallons daily, 30 000 gallons wasted, the flow damps into Spring Creek to drive a saw mill grist mill forges and rolling mills, rivaling fifty horsepower of steam. A valued curiosity indeed.
