That was underground oil TANKS, like for heating oil. These days they must be above ground but many are over 50-years old still in the ground.
And no water is truly "virgin". The best you can get is water held in a glacier for a millennium but most ground water has had the benefit of being filtered through the Earth's natural purification process. I just can't stand the smell or taste of chlorinated "city" water and many would prefer to Fluoridate their water by choice—or not.
I suppose it was once all "virgin" until Man messed it up, but remember "Fish f*ck in it".
