Does it come from a properly constructed well or out of a nearby stream? If it’s a well it should be no problem unless the aquifer is contaminated. What’s more likely is to get sick from contaminants at the delivery spigot.

Never drink untreated surface water

My well is almost 450 feet and in the same area as the original Poland Spring.

Nice nice water.

Don't know. Although Wiki has a page on raw water, it seems to be more of a local marketing thing in Silicon Valley. I've never heard of it. A couple links, apparently the FDA regulates standards which most states follow. It's hard to imagine any water bottled in quantity meets standards on an ongoing basis without filtration. https://www.foodsafetymagazine.com/magazine-archive1/augustseptember-2002/bottled-water-regulation-and-the-fda/ http://host.madison.com/business/the-bottled-water-business-is-booming-and-wisconsin-s-in/article_6dfc5ab4-ed8e-532a-ab25-ee5a6d96a0fc.html

I wouldn’t microwave it, too uneven on heating liquids and some separation issues. Back in the day they simmered raw milk and then cooled it for babies...but I haven’t done it so don’t know details. I imagine that would likely kill most garden variety bad things but doubt it would kill all.

I’ve taken several small bottles of my folk’s water on flights and passed them to crew - amazed - say we should bottle and sell it.

Isn’t that what I wrote?

Yes, but beer certainly wasn’t to “afford”. Very common.

I did find this information, not sure this will guard against diseases cattle might have. You might want to look into it a little more but then again there is risk in nearly everything we do so of course it comes down to your idea of acceptable risk as with anything else.
