Your problem would not be quite the same as ours. You might need to have the health department check for contamination.

We have the sulfur smell problem in our 220 foot deep well. About 16 years ago I called the well service to come out and check the well. They dumped a gallon of Clorox down the well then rinsed the Clorox down the well off the wires with a hose until a slight chlorine smell came out the hose. they then wet into the house and drew water from each faucet until they could smell the chlorine. Said not to use the water for 4 or 5 hours and the flush all the faucets real good so the smell of chlorine was just slight and then start using the water. They told me that I now know what to do and can do it myself. Just did that a coupla weeks ago and the smell is and will be gone for a spell. I do have to run a coupla manual cycles on the water softener as the rust breaks loose.
