Ugh! An ugly and awful problem! Personally, I would dig another hole
and hope for better water, but if money is an object (and it usually is), it
might be cheaper to chlorinate the water. When I was in college, we had to
do this for a certain well on a property owned by the school. Iron bacteria
thrived in that water. . .
The water will need point of use treatment after chlorination. Depending
on how bad the contamination is, bleaching might solve the problem--and
create another!
