There is all sorts of well water. I've drank sulphur flavored,
natural gas flavored, calcium flavored, and. . the best, purest
tasting stuff in the world. The drilled well at that house was only
60 feet deep & had more water than we could measure. 3-4 houses
away they went 300[?] feet and got sulphur water.

I'm on 'city' water now. Once I filter it it isn't bad-- But I'll
take a nice cold spring in the woods, anytime.
