Spring Water (real not bottled)
We live in the mountains and our water source is a natural spring. Has anyone baked using this type of water and are there any challenges I need to know about? Thanks - love this site. :-)

As long as your source has been tested for any contaminants or excessive mineral content and found to be fit to drink, it should be OK.
Thank you.
It should be fine unless it consists of excessive amounts of impurities (minerals, salts, metals, dirt, particles). If you notice unwanted results in your food, such as bad taste, smell, or even texture then that is an indication of low-quality water. In this case, you should make sure to bring acquire a water filter, and a reliable one. I got myself a cartridge filter which helped remove sediments, dirt, and other contaminants from my water supply.
