Excerpt: Manitou Springs, Colorado - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Manitou Springs derives its name from two dozen mineral springs situated throughout the area, many of which have drinking spigots for the public. The minerals present at each location change the flavor of the local water. In the early 1900s, the town became known as a health destination for people suffering from tuberculosis. The clean mountain air and mineral springs waters were part of a healthy retreat for people arriving by rail from across the country. In the 1970s, Woodland Park, 19 miles (31 km) up Ute Pass, built a sewage treatment plant on top of the fault line that forms the Pass. As a result, many of the springs were made undrinkable during the bulk of the 1980s, but this has since largely been corrected. Since the recent 2008 construction, Manitou has new springs to offer.
