I agree that you will need to collect samples and have them analyzed to determine the most cost effective treatment.  I wish it were simpler but every water source is unique.  Depending on the amount of iron, a simple oxidation and settling of iron solids could provide safe water.  But what of other less obvious potential contaminants?  That is a question only answered through some lab analysis.  Also before purchasing any equipment you will want to pilot test a treatment approach.
