Hi Nicole,

You will probably have some duties from a legal point of view and depending on the location of the supply, you may need to comply to similar requirements as in the UK  and the Private Water Supply Regulations implementing European Drinking Water Directive (Council Directive 98/83/EC). You have some good advice on these here:

Some geochemistry should be done to amke sure you're operating your pump correctly and subsequnet elements of the water distribution system are not subject to detrimental effects (e.g. metal precipitation).

You may not be the only person in this remote area to use groundwater as a source of supply, check with your neighbours...
