My well is about 300 ft. & slightly upslope from my leach field but 500 ft. deep. I just had it tested last month (the water coming out inside the house) with no bacterial content. I have a test done every few years at a cost of about $250 for the full test which includes organics, bacteria, inorganics, pesticides, petroleum distillates, etc., etc. I do have one neighbor who had to "shock" his system with bleach because of bacterial contamination and was successful. If I had a problem, I think I'd hire it done for the peace of mind. I do dump half a gallon of bleach into my 10K water tank a couple of times a year to prevent any growth of algae.
