The toilets drained into a septic system, not sewers.
My questions: was there regular testing of the well water to detect contaminants such as bacteria?
Any known incidents of people getting ill from contaminated well water?

That well was said to be over 300 feet deep. Don't think that the seepage from the johns ever contaminated it. Never heard of anyone getting sick from the water.
