    Susan Taul wonder if the well at Allen Acres is still flowing.

      There were several there including the one that fed the minnow pond which later became a swimming pool. I may be wrong but I think I heard it was no longer running. My grandfather ran the plantation for over 30 yrs and I spent weeks at a time there growing up. There were places where the water just bubbled up out of the ground so cold and fresh! We loved drinking from them

      Last time I was there was late 1960’s. Beautiful place. I remember Tony throwing me in the minnow pond!

    I remember several in Coffee Co. where I was born. In fact, one was a source of drinking fountains around the square in Elba.

    There are several in Bullock Co. along Conecuh River. Not the best tasting water n the world.
