IF you draw your well water from a DEEP well that is near the bottom of the local aquifer, it is possible you might detect a slight flavor difference (it will taste better than normal.) As likely only industrial wells would ever be drilled that deep and most residential wells are fed off of subsurface springs, I would say you'd not be able to detect the slightest difference even if your property was a couple hundred feet from the sinkhole.

The total semi-radiative liquid is being reported as 980000000 litres, which translates to 784 acre feet of water - That would have had to have been some pond, but certainly possible from industrial applications. The average family would use about half an acre foot of water a year, the total amount of water we're talking about would be what 6k people would consume in the average year.

As the majority of the material is far heavier than natural water, it's doubtful that anything would be detectable by even the most sensitive equipment more than a mile away from the site.
