These wells usually have oily surface which is caused by pollutants from toilet waste and others.
It is the cause of diseases to the population that consumes the water. The doctor says if these water is drunk by people it might lead to cholera, dysentery, typhoid etc .
The doctor said they should treat the well water with chloride and stop pouring hydrocarbon (kerosene) around the well that serves the pollution. They should always close the well and the environment. They shouldn’t drink the well water, they should use it only for washing and moping the floor because the toilets are already built around the well.
