we got water from a spring years ago,no treatment other than boiling drinking/cooking water. but water quality has changed a lot since them too. for myself,the up keep on a system would be a big factor , simply the time involved would be hard for me to justify. but if you can do it, and not put it off when needed i see no problems. i agree with what someone else said though about working with the loan company.couple of freinds here have refinanced lately and had to jump through all kinds of hoops just getting wells tested. dont over look the water resources board, and maybe even the wildlife folks when you check. the health dept really wont be you have to deal with in lots of cases. i am just guessing here,but i would plan on fencing this pond,away from animals and people. doing a ongoing elimination of beavers ,nutria etc that can carry some really bad stuff.overall a well would be far SAFER simply because it could be sealed.mechanical systems regardless of what they are are prone to failure,power outages that even last for a few minutes can allow polluted water into your system ,and youll not even know it until your violently ill. too many maybes for me to deal with if theres another option.but like i said weve done it.
