Wells are located outside of the septic field, etc so they don’t get contaminated.
We are on city water and septic, and that is the arrangement we had in KY too.

We are in a rental while our home is being built. It is on city water and sewage. No issues with the sewage, but the water is pretty questionable. Ends of the faucets have to be regularly cleaned with some I-don't-know-what-that-creature-is stuff hanging on the end and build-up.
The new place will be the polar opposite - well water and septic. It is our county code that the well must be a minimum of 150 ft from anything septic related.
