I'd be reluctant to use or even drink such water. My grandpa had well
water, lots of minerals, and even unsoftened it was clean and clear. If it
is yellow, it may have contamination from industrial pollution. There have
been some instances recently of oil and gas drilling contaminating ground
water, making it yellow and unsafe to drink.
