Are your eyes discolored?

I don't really see anything in there about the hazards of Iron compound traces dissolved in drinking water. SOME Iron is a necessary nutrient, for making hemoglobin in the body -- hence dietary supplements such as Geritol.
Stand next to it, smell it, look at it. Anybody wants to drink a glass or two, farewell and adieu to you, fair Spanish ladies.
The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.

I agree. The cited fact sheet doesn't pertain to contaminated ground water, plus it's talking about human toxicity, not an aqueous ecosystem. Iron oxides in water imply a previous reduction-oxidation reaction, which probably means the water is oxygen deficient. Additionally, the OP has stated that the water is acidic (dissolved CO2?).
There are bacterias in stagnant water that love iron and produce iron oxide; so that's another possible red flag.
I know nothing about that mine or it's water, but an MSDS about inhaled iron oxide addresses none of the above.
Let's hear from the MN Dept of Health:"Iron in water does not usually present a health risk. Your body needs iron to transport oxygen in the blood. Most iron comes from food, since the body cannot easily absorb iron from water."
And from the Illinois Dept of Health :
" Iron is not hazardous to health, but it is considered a secondary or aesthetic contaminant. "

When the mineral content of various foods was first being evaluated, a misplaced decimal point in the published data made it look like spinach had 10x its actual iron content. This became the source of Popeye's legendary strength, which in turn got millions of kids to eat their spinach and actually like it.
And beating the living tar out of Popeye for once.
Maybe he wasn't really all that hot for Olive Oyl but had to stir some shit.

Unlike many, I enjoyed eating spinach as a child. Just add lemon.
Today, I find steamed fresh spinach a treat.
