To be fair a lot of wells didn't/don't have good water either but we were not very good at testing or noticing that kind of thing until people started dropping.
It might be information overload but like... it seems hard to imagine people finding out that their wells were bad to drink from, and then simply deciding not to care. Though, that's probably naive and it's likely always been this way.
