I've never tasted mine - after some 40 years! Maybe I should get brave. And
perhaps save money on delivered cooking and drinking water to my storage
tank.


I've seen a well like that at friends hunting camp where water smelled.
As long as bacteria is absent it should be OK to drink. Mine has no
funny taste but, as I wrote, wife buys bottled water to drink as she
does not like to see sediment on standing. Several neighbors have water
delivered which I do not understand.

Our well is about 125 feet deep with a recharge rate of 15 gal/min.
Water has been much clearer last several months lately maybe because of
a lot of rain and wife is not cleaning bowls often.
