Coli-form bacteria include a large group of common bacteria. Some of these bacteria are harmful but many are harmless. They are used as an “indicator” to determine whether a pathway exists for dangerous bacteria to enter your water supply. Their presence does not guarantee that your water is unsafe to drink but it does indicate that harmful bacteria could enter your water at any time.
