Bacteriological
This test is a presence/absence test for Coliform bacteria. Coliform is an indicator bacteria, which means that if it is present in drinking water then that could indicate that other disease causing organisms are also present. If the presence of Coliform is detected, then the sample is analyzed to determine if E. Coli is present as well. This test is the standard by which public utilities determine the safety of drinking water. If the presence of Coliform is not detected, then the sample is considered to be free of pathogenic organisms and safe to drink.
- Requires 18-24 hours to determine results
