I grew up in northern Michigan and we had our own well but it was iron water. I never drank it either........Experts say we should drink "X" amount of water per day but the only water I ever drank was from the school drinking fountain. Water is over rated...LOL!
When I was a child I had an aunt and uncle who lived a few miles away from us, out in the country. They had the most horrible tasting tap water! I remember asking my mother why their water tasted so bad. She told me it was “iron water.” I can still remember how it tasted and that’s been a long time ago.
I don’t know which is worse, iron water or sulfur water.
We also lived in the country and had well water but ours was good.
