well water
Bucket-raised refreshment source
Well water is water drawn from a well—a hole dug or drilled into the ground to access an underground aquifer.
Unlike municipal water, well water is untreated at the source, so homeowners often filter or test it: The well water here has a slightly mineral taste.
Rural properties commonly rely on well water rather than city systems.
