It's not that simple. Every well should be tested for quality. Good water can come from 20 t0 600 feet, as can bad water.
Definitely Tap Water.
The depth of the water table refers to the level below the ground surface at which the soil and rock are fully saturated with water. The depth at which a well must be drilled depends on the depth of the water table because a well must reach below the water table to access groundwater. Therefore, if the water table is shallow, the well does not need to be drilled as deep, whereas a deeper water table requires a deeper well to reach the groundwater.
A well must be dug deeper than the water table to ensure a consistent and reliable supply of water, especially during dry seasons. By going past the water table, the well can tap into a more stable source of groundwater that is less susceptible to fluctuations in the water table level.
A sandpoint well is typically a shallow well that utilizes a pointed tube that is driven into the ground to access the water table, while a drilled well is deeper and involves the use of drilling equipment to create a borehole through different layers of ground to access water. Drilled wells are generally more complex, expensive, and can provide water from deeper sources compared to sandpoint wells.
Well water is typically clear because it comes from natural underground sources where the soil acts as a filter, removing impurities and sediment. As water seeps through the soil and rocks, it gets purified, resulting in clearer water compared to surface water sources like rivers or lakes. But if the well is not properly maintained or if there are issues with the water table, it could result in muddy well water.

You will have to dig the well deeper and adjust the length of the pipes to reach the water where the foot valve or pump is.
The deeper the well the bigger chances to hit salty water. Fresh water is usually close to the surface as the ground water table varies with elevation.
well both. it is better to have both.

A house can be supplied with water from a well even if there is no water available by drilling deeper into the ground to reach a water source. This process may require professional assistance to locate and access underground water reserves.
Possibly dig it a little deeper, the water table may have dropped. I would do that before I tried digging a new one.
I live in Barton County. There is some water about 200' but much more about 600'. If you can get enough water at 200' plan on $3-4000. figure 10$/ft if you have to go deeper. the water formations get deeper as you go west in Missouri.
Its usually about 100 dollars a foot to drill a well deeper. Drilling a new well usually wont solve your problem unless you have alot of acreage, because your giong to be drilling into the save aquifer and the water will be at the same depth. Plus you will have to run lines from the new well, pressure tank, casing, etc...
