This doesn't answer the specific question, but we had a hundred year old hand dug surface well within 16 feet of the county blacktop road and downstream from farm fields and our own septic system that was only 18 feet deep and 6 ft in diameter hand lined with non mortared field sand stone. It was covered with concrete with only an opening to allow the jet pump suction pipe to pass down through to near the bottom with a check valve. Anyhow, we bought the farm in 1978 and the farmer who lived here previously drank that water and lived to over 90, we raised three kids here now in their thirties all healthier then a horse and we are in excellent health. It was fun to wait maybe 30 minutes AFTER a hard rain and look down in the well and see water seeping in through the field stone liner. I never had the water tested for fear the county would condemn the well and throw us in jail lol. We used a sediment filter followed by a charcoal filter, didnt have rust or iron or lime/calcium stains or deposits, and the water tasted great.
Oh well we survived it and only a few years back did we change to city water so the place would sell easier, I'm confident no inspectors or mortgage lenders or government regulators would have stood still for that 18 foot well lol
