I was speaking to a well driller and he said that the water at 300'

answer.
Thanks.
dug well - most of the contaminants are what you and your neighbor
dump on the ground.
drilled well - contaminant source expands to unknown distance and into
unknown past.
It is generally, but not always, the case that deeper drilled wells
get into older, less contaminated by man water. OTOH, they are more
likely to pick up mineral contamination because of the longer path to
where you tap it.
