I have city water coming into my home, but I also have well water. I use well water to water my garden,flowers and grass. I also drink the well water. Our well water is good. There is nothing wrong with it. We got it tested and it came back fine.

I have been drinking well water for my whole life now, 18 years, and we have never had a problem with it. It has been the best water I have ever tasted, the kind that is cleaned in chemical plants is not that great for you, and that applies towards "bottled mineral water." I could never buy water, when I have such a great source at home, you should not have to pay for water unless if there was no other resort. If you don't trust your well water get it tested, you should always do that when you buy a house that uses well water until you can trust it.
