FAQ

Can I brush my teeth with coliform-positive well water?

Use bottled or otherwise safe water for brushing teeth until the source is corrected and follow-up bacteria testing is clean.

Does coliform positive always mean sewage contamination?

No. Total coliform can come from soil, surface water, plumbing, or sampling problems, but it still means the well system needs investigation.
