E.Coli (Escherichia Coli) is the coliform bacterial organism that is looked for when testing the water.

This organism is found in the intestines and fecal matter of humans and animals.

If E.Coli is found in a water supply along with high nitrate and chloride levels, it usually indicates that waste has contaminated the supply from a septic system or sewage dumping, and has entered by way of runoff, a fractured well casing, or broken lines.

If coliform bacteria are present, it is an indication that disease-causing bacteria may also be present.
