Killing bacteria?

We recently moved to the country and have well water.


The bacteria level is 4 times higher than it should be and


is considered unsafe to drink.


How long do I have to boil it in order to kill the bacteria?

Killing bacteria?
This says get the water to a roiling boil for three minutes:

Recommends to boil your water, at a "rolling boil", for two full minutes.





But, this site had comprehensive suggestions and warnings about e-coli bacteria, which you should read. Good Luck!
