Coliform Bacteria and Drinking Water

probably environmental and fecal contamination is unlikely. However, if environmental contamination can enter the system, pathogens could get in too.

Interpreting Drinking Water Test Results

Eliminate contamination sources. If the source of the nitrate can be identified (such as a nearby barnyard or septic system) the best solution might be to clean up or remove the contamination source. However, it could take years for the nitrate to return to safe levels in the well. Carry or buy water, especially for infants and pregnant women.
