Got a dug well, maybe 15 foot deep, on a side hill. Used it close to 40 years without many problems. Occasionally, with heavy, long rainy periods, it has gotten cloudy for a few days,(assumed some ground water got in), but clears right up. There is a foot or better of snow on the ground right now, no thawing, running water, no construction/digging in the area, and yet almost overnight, the water went cloudy, more so than I've ever seen it. We have some minerals in the water, mostly iron, but a small Omni filter takes care of that. The pan of water on the wood stove started showing a white powdery residue as the water boils off just of late also, guessing maybe lime, but have not had problems with that before. Any ideas what the heck might be causing this sudden cloudiness? Thanks in advance for any input.
