Radium Springs has rare sapphire-blue waters. The blue waters of the spring flow through a crystalline pool. This beautiful crystal clear water gets as cold as 16 degrees. The springs first opened in 1927 and just recently closed.  It closed because it didn't have enough people to support it like any other business. Many people in the area want Georgia to buy it and turn it into a state park. It was where everybody went when it was open. They even had a band playing on Sundays. It was a beautiful sight.
            Some of the purest water in the world can be found in caves hundreds of feet below Albany, Georgia. This same pristine water flows from every faucet in the city.  Its purity and plentiful supply are why many large manufacturers have chosen to build and expand in Albany.
