I agree with filtering the water at Barrel Springs. Better to filter
unnecessarily than to skip it when required.

I stopped by Barrel Springs on December 18th on my way to the ABDSP and the
spring was running strong. That's a good sign at a time when we are about
3-inches below our normal rainfall for this time of year. It's not just
another wet-weather spring.
