Not just random. It should be possible to do this deliberately too. One way that gives a percentage chance is to put an animal carcass down the well. The only way that definitely contaminates the well would be to put a player's corpse in it.

Of course, it's also possible to clean a well that has been contaminated. This would require you to put water, sand and live frogs into it. Or frog spawn, if not live frogs.

And of course there should be herbal recipes to cure dysentery, or one made from water, honey and salt.

Yeah, if a well was not used for long time or was damaged, will give some amounts of spoiled water before will give normal.

Yes poisoning a well with animal carcasses is a good idea. Of course it would leave a vandalism scent.
