I have a connection to municipal water now, what do I do with my old well?

If the well is not going to be used it should be sealed rather than capped. The term "sealed" means to be filled up with an impervious material. You will need to contact a licensed well driller to have the well properly sealed or abandoned. The sealing material or grout should be pumped into the well from the bottom up under constant pressure to ensure complete sealing of the hole.
