Construct a new well. Seek advice from your drilling contractor, your county sanitarian, and from the Geological Survey Bureau of the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. Connect to a rural water district. Treat your water to remove the contaminants. Normally, a column is packed with hollow porous objects to allow air to move upward while water trickles down.
Treated water is pressurized with a pump.
Then ask your water treatment equipment dealer for equipment performance data on removal of those contaminants of concern to you. About 25 others are listed for regulations and have health advisories. This publication is distributed in electronic format only.
