When i last lived in Sisters they were blocking public access saying the water was dangerous. It didn't really make sense to me that an organism would come "from" a spring rather than the surroundings.

You know what works good for clogged pores? Duct tape!

My Mom and Dad live in Idaho. I went camping with my Dad many years ago up in the Bitteroot Wilderness area. The Salmon River runs through that area. (one of the few rivers that actually runs north in the states). Beautiful country full of crystalline streams, streamlets, sparkling pools, and river estuaries.

Except, don't drink the water unless you boil it or filter it. The entire area is contaminated with an organism called "giardia. Its pretty common throughout the North American wildernesses. Seasoned campers and hikers know all about it. The organism can even contaminate shallow wells used in irrigation and for well water on farms.

When they drill a water well in Idaho, they test each water bearing formation for the organism. If its present, they "case it off" (meaning they lower casing into the well bore to isolate that formation and seal off the contaminated water flow) Then drill deeper looking for a purer aquifer.
