Has anyone used water from the artesian spring in lynnwood to brew. I didnt think i would need to worry about my tap water but have noticed a heavier than normal chlorine taste & smell from the tap lately. Any info or experience would be great.

I haven't personally, but others have and love it

I have.
I'm in Lake Forest Park, so it's a little drive for me, but the results were excellent.
I've also brewed with tap water with great results.

Did you boil it first or treat it in any way or just use it straight?

It gets boiled when you boil it silly... you know, when you boil the wort and add the hops?
It's probably one of the best natural spring waters in the world. You can go to the website and look at the three pages of report.
It was originally used for all of Alderwood Manor's supplied drinking water, but eventually the system couldn't keep up.

I feel dumb. At the same time, I don't do a full boil. I do 4 gallons for the wort and add 2 gallons at chill time or after chill at the ferm.
