  1. The most concerning parts are the microbiological test results, especially the high number of total coliform bacteria. Coliform bacteria will not likely cause illness. However, their presence in drinking water indicates that disease-causing organisms, pathogens, could be in the water system. Since coliform bacteria usually persist in water longer than most disease-causing organisms, the absence of coliform bacteria leads to the assumption that the water supply is microbiologically safe to drink.

    From the microbiological point of view the recommendation for sampling: "Buying drinking water bottles, then emptying them out and immediately refilling with water to be tested in their lab" is questionable. Basically for microbiological sampling always sterile containers should be used.
