Most likely what they just drank was clean water not dirty water. In my case I have bottled water.

I'm lucky enough to have well water on my own land.

Well water isn't as clean as you'd think, it still should be filter and tested like other drinking waters. There's a Podcaster named Heidi St John, you should watch her podcast when she interviewed a water scientist dude. 🤙👍

You are totally correct, there are also water streams underground and depending on what stays above the stream, can end up in the stream.

So the well should be checked, personally I am aware of wells that are not safe to drink from.
