Crystal Spring, also known as Riggs Spring or City Spring, is one of the largest single springs in the Flint Hills. This spring house contains the equipment used to pump water from the spring to the water tower (built in 1887) west of the city. The pump has the capacity to deliver up to 370 gallons per minute to the water tower. Except for a brief time in 1951, after flood waters covered the pump, a continuous water supply has met the needs of the city with a large amount of overflow into the creek bed below the water works.
