What practice is recommended to avoid contamination of drinking water in a resale cottage with a drilled well?

Ensure that all seals and caps don’t allow water entry.
The well casing should be below ground level.
Openings to the well should not be sealed from outside.
Ground surrounding the well should slope towards it.
Avoid sealing the entire well casing above ground level.
Install a water filter to catch any impurities.

The correct answer is: Ensure that all seals and caps don’t allow water entry.

The correct answer is A) Ensure that all seals and caps don’t allow water entry because it is essential to prevent contamination of drinking water in a resale cottage with a drilled well. Properly sealed caps and seals ensure that surface water, debris, or contaminants do not enter the well water supply. This helps in maintaining the quality and safety of the drinking water. Options B, C, D, E, and F are incorrect because they do not directly address the primary concern of preventing contamination through proper seals and caps on the well. While other measures such as having the well casing below ground level, the ground slope towards the well, or not sealing the well casing above ground level can be beneficial, they do not specifically focus on the importance of ensuring seals and caps are secure to avoid water entry and contamination.
