If the spring is multiple heads in the same area I don't know If I can make that work or not.


Ahh....I thought you had confirmed it was a single head. In that scenario, I could see building the cap catch basin with sides a few feet above grade. My thinking was that if you can build enough head above the creek level in the catch basin, you could bury the discharge pipe to the creek deep enough to get it out of the way for tilling the ground. Eventually, the only land not tillable would be the spot taken up by the spring house. If it turns out there is more than one head, things get a little tougher.
