I'm on city water so this was very interesting. I did have to replace an underground section of incoming water line, and every week I check the meter to make sure there are no leaks, mainly to keep the water bill down, but never thought about dirt getting in..

I was working around the same kind of ants and the next day found i had been badly bitten. It was awful. Hope you don't end up with the same fate ☹️
