Reporting from a thesis entitled Dynamics of Utilization of Umbul Ingas Cokro Springs by the Community in 1974-1999 by Putri Novitasari in 2019, said that around 1950 local residents could still bathe free of charge. Apart from bathing, Umbul Cokro is used for washing and irrigation. The river or Umbul Ingas was then renovated by the village government (pemdes) into a building. Since then, the Ingas River has changed its name to Umbul Ingas spring. The spring was developed into a tourist attraction called OMAC.

After the renovation, the spring attracted tourists. Umbul Cokro spring is also used for irrigation of rice fields and drinking water. Umbul Cokro spring is mostly used by the Surakarta Regional Drinking Water Company (PDAM) and bottled water industry companies. This utilization has reduced the availability of Umbul Cokro water. Umbul Cokro is also often used for kungkum rituals. The kungkum ritual starts from 23.00 WIB-02.00 WIB.
