I worked for a well driller, off and one when I lived in central NY. Water from dug wells was often fine but low yield. Same goes with springs. Water from shallow wells was often the best quality. Wells got drilled to get more gallons per minute. The deeper they go, the harder the water and the more iron in in. At the house I still have in NY, the original 30 foot dug well has the best water but will run dry if you pump it too fast. The 120 foot drilled well has higher yield but is harder.
