SIKSUKR reminded me that some houses that we looked at in the lakes region required water conditioning systems for their drilled wells. So you might want to snoop around and find out what drilled well water quality is like in the area of the house in question. Maybe the dug well was not simply just to save the cost of a drilled well. Of maybe the drilled well water in the area is just fine and they just wanted to save some bucks.

When we bought in West Alton the high quality water was a selling point for us. We are about one mile from a commercial "spring water" well where water is trucked out on a regular basis for bottling. The drilled well here (which is not artesian as the water does not spill out under pressure from the aquifer) provides water that could pass for the best bottled spring water.
