This
does mean that we now have to address this issue for our own health
even though we drink bottled water.
Does this mean we have to get a filtration system?

How does ammonia get in well water?

All kinds of things get into the ground water, that you wish hadn't. My bet is
that decades of excessive commercial fertilzation finally got into the ground
water. A lot of water tables have a layer of oil in the first few feet of
porus rock, either naturally there, or leakage from gas station tanks.

Ammonia most commonly gets into ground water from the surface in the vicinity of
feed lots, and other animal waste activities, such as chicken coups. Ammonia
does not get into the ground water from natural petroleum or refined petroleum
products.
