Also on a well.
Treatment system: Um... I have a water softener? Makes my skin feel all nice and smooth after a shower.
UV will be fine.

So my home was built in 1993, the well itself is of course 20 years old and we took possession in 2007. It was tested then, and probably could use re-testing now. I cook, clean, shower and wash my cars with the water but I do not drink it. One thing is for sure the taste just isn't there. And don't get me wrong. I like the idea of getting a daily dose of minerals..But not like that. Anyhow, the well is likely drilled. Has a concrete cover and I have yet to look down it. Like Ryan mentioned, also running a softener. IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE! But not so much that I get a lot of calcium build up in my taps. Which likely is in the piping as well. For this, CLR is your friend. As for you making this a deciding factor to buy? THAT is logical and the seller should know this. It only hinders there ability to sell. Contamination is much like mould. Which I suggest you check the sump pump room for condensation and possible mould. This was a problem for me. Air circulation is just as important as plumbing and water supply, electricity, heat, internet...the list goes on. PS. If you're considering a home in the country. I hope you're ok with sub-par internet.

The fact that you're already questioning the purchase of this house isn't a good sign. I'd say keep looking.

Recent downpours can affect wells. My well is drilled 172 ft deep. Water is amazing, its all I drink. 26ft of water last time I checked.
I think for $5000 you could have a drilled well. Work it into the price. Nobody has "dug" wells anymore.
