Find the spring bubbling out of the ground. Dig down with a backhoe until sure you have located the water vein about 36 inches below ground or just below the depth whatever the vein is. Dig a trench maybe 8-10 ft long at or below the level of the water vein. Buy standard 4"septic filter field pipe to install in the trench then place washed river gravel (3/4 to 1 inch graded round stone)all around the bottom and top of pipe installed in the trench bottom to collect the spring flow.Place river gravel also at least 6-12 inches above top of leach line pipe. Place a heavy gauge layer of plastic sheeting or impermeable material over the top of this layer of stone in the trench then backfill with soil. Install a septic distribution box that you can open up at the downstream end of your collection tile to serve as a sediment clean out access in the future. At this distribution box reduce your pipe size to 1.5 inch and trench this pipe into a storage basin such as a septic tank or plumb it right into your existing house water line. Take a sample of your spring water to county health department and have it tested for bacteria to be sure it is potable. Your local contractors may know how to do this if you are not doing it yourself.
