Expert Response
To determine the quality of a potential drinking water source have it tested. There are many laboratories capable of providing this analysis. First the local heath department. Another option is a university laboratory such as Penns state, https://agsci.psu.edu/aasl/water-testing. Yet another option is a lab such as Holmes lab https://holmeslab.com/water-testing/.
