[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 559680, member: 11791"] If a well is left to stagnate - not used for some period of time - it can become dangerous. Wells need to be in continuous use. Going away for a few weeks isn't the problem - but an unoccupied house may mean the well hasn't been used for a long time. Beyond that, it depends on the quality of the water. Some wells are "hard water", some not. Some have iron (affects taste, colors laundry). Mineral impurities are the easiest to remove - iron, calcium, etc. Bacterial impurities are not so innocent... that's when "boil water" is necessary. [/QUOTE]
