Iron/manganese/H2S in rural wells

H2S is a routine private-well complaint in the Shady Cove area. Oregon Health Authority documents that iron, manganese, and hydrogen sulfide co-occur in reducing groundwater conditions common to this region, often producing black iron-sulfide deposits at fixtures (Oregon OHA — Iron and Manganese in Groundwater).

Treatment depends on concentration: under 1 mg/L typically needs catalytic activated carbon alone; 1-5 mg/L needs aeration or oxidation plus a backwashing filter; above 5 mg/L needs a full oxidation plus filtration train. Diagnosis always distinguishes well-water H2S from a magnesium-anode water heater first.
