The water system, which is located in the area now known as Fountain Park, is still used by the townspeople for portable household water. When the origianl system was laid out, it ran to two wooden troughs on the Square, which is now the intersection of Main St. and Market St. One trough was since replaced by Matilda Zimmerman in memory of Mary Rex Zimmerman, her mother and great granddaughter of Alexander Schaeffer.
