eli5: When people used wells for drinking water, how did they not get sick? Was there some type of filter or was the water just naturally clean?

Grew up on well water! I love the taste, it’s slightly metallic in our area from the iron content (I think). It’s used for everything, there aren’t water lines coming from the nearest town 5 miles away. It’s a bit hard from the mineral content, but not the worst. I have no idea how deep our well is.
