: This is WELL water. JEFF; Is it a "drilled 6" well or a dug well?. Either way ,if the case is deteriorated it will allow soil,etc, to wash in. If its a sub pump located in the well, it could be down too far into the well, and will pick up debris, etc. This also goes if its a foot valve being too far onto the well. Ideally, the intake should be approx 6-10' above the bottom, and higher if the depth permits.(to avoid drawdown).Hube
