What this violation means

Total coliform bacteria are themselves usually harmless, but their presence signals that the water distribution system has a vulnerability — typically a cracked pipe, loss of pressure, or back-siphonage — that could allow disease-causing pathogens to enter. Repeated coliform-positive samples trigger mandatory utility investigation.

Recommended precautions

→If your utility issues a boil-water advisory, boil all drinking and cooking water for at least one minute.
→Use bottled water until the advisory is lifted.
→Ice from icemakers and beverages made before the advisory should be discarded.
→UV light and chlorination both kill coliform bacteria — most home filters do not.
