Well, I use chemical nutes and when I drain I drain into my sump pump hole. The sump pump pushes it out to my vegetable garden area.
My towns well head is about 200 yards from my yard, the area is considered a water protection area, and about 200 yards from the towns well head is an 100+ acre corn/soybean field that applies anhydrous ammonia and round up on the complete field. From all the stuff coming from the field, I don't think anything I pour onto the ground (short of heavy metals, radioactive waste, or industrial solvents) would make any difference. People use chemical fertilizers on their yards along with weed killers all the time. I don't drink the tap water though as it comes out at 600+ PPM and we have high natural fluoride levels.
Our drinking water comes out of my RO machine and into a water cooler.
