A: Your termination of tenancy notice should provide you at least 14 days to "cure" the problems or 30 days to vacate. IF you do neither, and they can prove you have created unfixed damage, they can go to court to try to evict you. As for you being responsible for the plumbing and/or the well, only if somehow your lease specifies that you are responsible for the maintenance (and even then, it may be challengeable - those are normally a landlord's duty) or if you have negligently (or intentionally) damaged the well and/or the plumbing. Questions? Review with a local landlord-tenant attorney.
