Does any one have any experience dealing with the effects of a natural
spring surfacing near houses?

I wonder how much of a risk this is to this house I am considering
buying:

We have lived here 1 year. Last April, the water began surfacing in the
driveway. It occurs after several days of rain. The water continues to
surface for several days after the rain stops. The spring eventually
dries up until it rains again.

Luckily the house is on a slope, so the water travels away from the
house and into the street gutter.

The water was confirmed by the city as a spring. It was described as an
'artesian'.

The paved driveway was already completely cracked apart by a huge tree
roots next to it, so there is no loss there.

There has been no water or flooding at all inside the house for the one
year we have lived here.

My main concerns are.

1) That it never goes away (like it suddenly appeared) and becomes a
big problem when I go to re-sell the property in 2 years.
2) Paving the driveway is useless because water will eventually destroy
it (or paving it will force the water up in a worse place).
3) The spring begins to surface uphill somewhere under the house.
4) Its an eye sore that devalues the property.

Any opinions on these or others concerns?

Thanks,
