Others

E Coli

3.51 MPN/100mls

Problem

E. coli is a bacteria that usually lives in a healthy persons intestines. Most forms of E. coli are harmless but other forms of E.coli can cause serious ill health. Exposure is a result of coming into contact with the faeces of humans or animals. This can happen when you drink water or eat food. Infection often causes severe diarrhoea and abdominal cramps. In elderly or very young people E. coli can cause kidney failure. The E. coli level requirement in drinking water is zero.

Your result: Your water’s E. coli level above the EU recommended value, so you may be experiencing some or all of these problems.The water is not drinking quality and requires immediate attention by a qualified professional. eg. Chlorination

Enterococci

0.288 MPN/100mls

Monitor

Enterococci bacteria are of faecal origin (human and animal). Their presence in a water supply is an indication of the risk that disease causing bacteria may be present. There are many sub types of Enterococci only some of which are harmful. Infections commonly caused by enterococci include urinary tract infection (UTIs), endocarditis, bacteremia, catheter-related infections, wound infections, and intra-abdominal and pelvic infections. The drinking water limit for Enterococci is zero.

Your result: Your water’s Enterrococci level is approaching the EU recommended value and you may be experiencing some problems

Total Bacteria Count (TBC's)

0.113 CFU /ml

Satisfactory

Total Bacteria Count measures Heterotrophic bacteria (HTP). HTP bacteria are a part of the human system and are not dangerous in low numbers. However, at high levels HTP Bacteria can provide the nutrient for Coliforms, E. coli, and other pathogens to survive and multiply. The Drinking Water Regulations SI122 2014 advice is 'no abnormal change'. The unit of Measurement for Total Bacteria Count is Colony Forming Units (CFU/ml). Bacteria Removal can be achieved by chlorination or UV Treatment or both.

Your result: Your water’s Total Bacteria Count level is below the EU recommended value so you should not be experiencing any problems.

Total Coliform

0.176 MPN/100mls

Monitor

Total Coliforms include bacteria that are found in the soil, in water that has been influenced by surface water, and in human or animal waste in the form of E. coli. The most common symptoms of Total Coliform pollution include nausea, vomiting, and diarrhoea. Infants, the elderly, and those with compromised immune systems may suffer more severe effects. If bacteria are present in your water, there is a risk that it could make you ill.

Your result: Your Results: Your water’s Total Coliform level is approaching the EU recommended value and you may be experiencing some problems.
