Sulfur occurs naturally in groundwater. Of course in some areas it is more pronounced. It doesnt mean the water is necessarily contaminated. Im assuming the source is a private well in which case periodic testing is always a good idea. The local health dept. may be able to run some simple indicators tests for little or no money.A powder activated carbon (PAC) unit would probably do the trick. For a home, a unit containing about 3 cubic feet of carbon is appropriate. Depends on flow though. Make sure to get a point of entry unit.
