Coliform bacteria are mainly found in soils and in the intestines of warm-blooded animals. These bacteria can enter a water system due to runoff or other sources. Detectable levels of fecal coliforms, or more specifically, Escherichia coli (E. coli), can indicate that other fecal pathogens may be present.
Analytical methods target the identification and quantification of bacterial indicators, which are essential for assessing water quality and potential public health risks. UFI offers a rapid (18 hour or 24 hour), quantitative test of fecal coliforms or E.coli in order to allow clients to make informed decisions in a timely manner.
