Just think of it this way: are you willing to drink water that smells nasty and appears black?
If your answer is a big no, then you have to ensure that you can actually conduct water treatment for the hydrogen sulfide.
Hydrogen sulfide, or H2S, is actually a gas that has been dissolved and mixed into the water, making it smell as well as taste like rotten egg.
Your water also looks black, the odor can permeate all over your home, and the gas can actually damage your piping by corroding it.

It's actually very normal for water coming from the well to contain hydrogen sulfide.It may also be caused because of the use of sulphate in order to decrease the presence of bacteria in the water system. To heal the water from the gas, the kind of hydrogen sulfide water treatment that you can implement may include shock chlorination, which can actually decrease the presence of both bacteria and sulphate.

The presence of gas is at its utmost high during the seasons of early spring and winter.
This is because there are many weeds as well as algae that are decomposing. Moreover, there is less dissolved oxygen present in the water.
