Feel free to fill up bottles there, it's crisp and refreshing! • When we’re home, we use the sink water for cooking, coffee, and tea, while enjoying the spring water for drinking. Water Pressure: • As with any historic home, the plumbing is older. To maintain the best water pressure, we recommend avoiding multiple high-usage activities at the same time.
