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

Thanks.
Of course you will get the water tested every year just to be safe,
no matter where it comes from.
Your state can do that very accurately and very reasonable in price.
Water at 300 feet is much less likely to be contaminated with bacteria
from animal waste products (including humans) than water at 25 feet.
Water at 300 feet is much less likely to be contaminated with
agricultural waste products (fertilizers) than water at 25 feet.
Iron, Sulfur, and Calcium Carbonate content are what the driller was
talking about. How does the water TASTE was the driller's concern.
