Yeah but groundwater has its flaws as well. Arsenic is a common contaminant found in groundwater. Hopefully you are getting your water tested periodically to make sure the aquifer is still producing high quality groundwater.
The chlorine and fluoride really depend on your local municipality and how well they treat the water. If the chlorine level is too high then the operators aren’t dosing correctly and fluoride addition is a local governance issue. Big dental psyop’ed us into thinking it prevents cavities for the poor and marginalized.
Taste and aesthetics comes down again to the governance and how much the citizens want to invest to have great tasting water. Most people want to pay as little as possible and to that you get what you pay for.
Yea radon is the other thing to test for with a well, first thing to do in a home inspection because a house with a good well is hard money
Hopefully so with a good strong well casing hopefully not those cheap PVC casings and a reliable pump and power.
That’s is really hard money
I think it depends where we're talking... not all tap is equal. Dallas tap seems fine, but Austin tap tastes like a malaria smoothie even at nicer hotels and restaurants with their own filters.
Taste is just one thing, otherwise it usually a trade-off between microplastics in bottled water vs chlorine+flouride and pharmacologics in some cities.
I couldn't reconcile living somewhere without my own deep-well. People didn't settle places without access to good water for most of human history, how few people even consider that today?
