I have zero knowledge in this area, but would a full distillation system make this water potable? I did a quick google search and found systems claiming 12 gallons of distilled water per day for around $3k. I imagine there are also larger capacity systems that exist at some pricepoint.
Often reverse osmosis works better - and distillation systems require a lot of upkeep and energy costs. So there is that. And of course they only help if it’s not their transport system.
I don’t think there’s any volatile compounds of lead, which would be the risk. Obviously don’t go off of just my guess, though. You wouldn’t think osmium would produce a lot of volatiles, and yet it’s frigging oxide is.
Of course, depending on where this is and how much water you use that might obviate the need for a well anyway. If you’re distilling it all surface water or just straight up wastewater might work fine.
