It’s best not to! Water from a private well may look or even taste good but still be unsuitable for food consumption because it is contaminated. The risk of water pollution is even greater if the well is shallow. We sometimes draw our water from a depth of more than 200m.
At shallow depths, pesticides, nitrates and bacteria can easily penetrate and these harmful substances have no taste, colour or smell.
We therefore advise you to have your well water tested regularly. In addition, be aware that water from a well must be piped completely separately from tap water to avoid any contamination.
