Well Water vs City Water and Water Softener Question

I currently have my first property under contract and it uses well water. I was wondering, what are some of the pros and cons of using well water vs using city water? Are there a lot of costs associated with keeping the water clean? Also, this is a duplex, and I'm curious if anyone has any systems in place for the tenants to take care of the water system. I want this to be as passive as possible and am trying to plan ahead. Same goes for the water softener, do most of you provide the salt or have tenants pay for it  and take care of the upkeep? The water system for both units of the duplex is stored on one side, so one tenant would be responsible for handling water for both sides. Any help would be appreciated.
