We have never had problems with ground water either. I have actually never had a problem with adding ice. Now I don't do it too often, even when I am doing extract but I hear people have a problem with adding ice to cool a beer down

I've never thought about adding ice directly to the wort. I've always done 6-gallon batches of extract brewing, and bought 6 gallons of cheaper water at $.99 each. Used two for the boil and but the other 4 in the fridge until it was time to add.

And then I finally got a wort chiller, that thing works wonders.
