I think it would be safer to say it this way because you don't know for sure whether it is coming from a well or sewer of some kind.

: This is not about contamination 'coming from' a well or source - the opposite is what is being said here. Admittedly, the word order is a bit unfortunate in the German.

Thomas Pfann
: I agree in that "[originating] from" might be the better approach here, but your explanation is wrong. We do know for sure where the contamination is coming from: von Mensch und Tier
