| Abstract |
A total of 529 well and distribution potable water samples were analyzed for total coliforms by the most-probable-number and membrane filter (MF) techniques. Standard plate count bacteria and MF noncoliform bacteria were also enumerated. This anaerobic modification of the standard MF technique significantly reduced overgrowth and enhanced recovery of coliforms from potable groundwater. This technique is simple, cost effective, and suitable for monitoring of untreated ground water common to some small water systems and private water supplies. |
