I'll be drilling a well in a location that is about a half mile from the nearest water line. It IS, however, next to a river so I'm planning on using a mud pump to pump river water for the drilling process. This well will, eventually, be providing water for an entire homestead, so it will need to be potable ... eventually.
If I use river water to drill the well, will I still be able to disinfect it with bleach or by pumping river water through it am I permanently ruining its potability?
Thank you for your help.
