Q

define total coliform

A

Are a group of closely related, mostly harmless bacteria that live in soil and
water as well as the guts of animals. The extent to which total coliforms are
present in the source water can indicate the general quality of that water and
the likelihood that the water is contaminated with fecal matter. The presence
or absence of total coliform bacteria is the drinking water standard

Q

Define E. Coli

A

A type of fecal coliform bacteria commonly found in the intestines of
animals and humans. E. coli is short for Escherichia coli. The presence of E.
coli in water is a strong indication of recent sewage or animal waste
contamination. Sewage may contain many types of disease-causing
organisms.
