Not an expert but I do have a well. You definitively don’t want to be drinking more lead than the EPA limit. I would get a filtration system installed ASAP and not drink from that well until it is installed, and especially don’t let children drink the leaded water because they are more susceptible to brain damage. If anyone has been drinking this water it would be a good idea to get tested for lead exposure ASAP.
I would hope so, if there’s lead in the water the only way to avoid it is by filtering it out. Do kids in your neighborhood have lots of behavioral problems and/or seem unusually dumb?
