Eons ago, before it was divided into lots, hubs and I considered buying some property there but we couldn't afford to buy large acreage, and later, we left Tennessee.

Here's what Wiki states:

The mountain is a significant source of drinking water for nearby communities.[6] The English Mountain Spring releases more than 2 million gallons of water each day,[7] and is the source for several premium bottled water distributors.[8] Since 1997, it has been the source for the English Mountain Spring Water Company of Dandridge, Tennessee,[9] (a supplier of Cracker Barrel restaurants as well to the Visitor Centers within Great Smoky Mountains National Park).[10]


Just wow!! Amazing how such a supply could now be in danger.
