Depends on the well. My well water on a mountain in Franklin county is the most delicious and clean water I’ve ever experienced. It’s slightly high in iron and manganese but otherwise none of the other nasty things people experience with their well water.

I lived in Addison/Chittenden county previously with well water that was disgusting without extensive treatment and I would have taken town water any day.

Good well water > town water > bad well water

I see you’ve heard of my friend Flint

The two bad ones are interchangeable depending on badness. I know someone who lived next to a junkyard and had to emergently switch from well to town water because chemicals from the junkyard were leeching into his well. Funny enough two members of his household eventually got cancer too. Similarly, one of the only cases of tularemia in VT in recent history was from a muskrat dying in someone’s well.
