Water search taps in to pure delight

A FARMERS wife who tried her hand at water dousing
may have divined her way to a £1million fortune.

Dorothy Thomas
had hoped to find spring water for household use on the 50 acre
smallholding she and husband Brice own at Swiss Valley, near Llanelli,
South Wales.

Instead she uncovered water so pure and rich in
minerals the couple are now selling off their land with a licence
to produce 800,000 bottles a week, reportsThe Express.

It
is expected to fetch at least £1million, with bids coming from as
far afield as the US.

The water is so pure because it is filtered
through four-million-year-old sandstone deposits below the couples
five-bedroom Popplewell farm.
