About This Spring

Uncle Charlie’s Ranch is located Northwest of Denver near the town of Black hawk, Colorado. Wide Awake Water is known for it’s purity. In 2015, samples of the spring water went through a series of tests and showed that Wide Awake Water measures at 10 total dissolved solids and 8.67 parts dissolved Oxygen, which leads some to believe that the fossil aquifer from which the spring is located rests 20 miles underground. These same tests were later verified by various professors at the University of Denver. If you wish to read the test results yourself, you can click on the link below which will lead you to the pdf.
