Default question on wells VS very long water line



BTW, why can't you get water from the creek? I live right next to a
creek, and I've wondered if I could drink the water. I keep meaning
to have it tested.

I guess the biggest problem woudl be upstream fertilizer, but maybe I
would finally get taller.


no biggest risk is animal dies upstream in creek, your safe water is
suddendly hazardous.

ground water should NEVER be used unless its continously treated.

stream water is excellent for irrigation and other nod potable uses
