Water

Let me put on my previous life hat (groundwater hydrologist). "artesian"
means subsurface water has enough pressure to run to the surface without
pumping, otherwise it is just a well. Wells are usually pretty safe (not
to say that they taste good, I have pumped a lot of salty, sulfur laden
water). That is, they do not usually have biological contamination.
Poorly completed barnyard wells are a notable exception, and I I have
closed a number of them down.

That being said, I have never stopped by the Turnigan pipe, despite
several years of weekly comutes, and will offer no opinion!
