E. COLI & COLIFORM ANALYSIS
Detect E. coli and Total Coliforms in Water Samples.
Lab analysis of potable, recreational, source, and process water samples. You collect; we enumerate, identify, and report against the limits that matter for your program.

Why It Matters
The Canonical Screen for Fecal Contamination
E. coli and total coliforms are the long-standing indicators that water suppliers, facilities, and public-health programs use to flag fecal contamination before it reaches a consumer.
Routine sample analysis validates your distribution system, source water, and treatment process, and catches breaches early when the cost of correction is still low.
Where Analysis Helps
Reasons Programs Run Coliform Analysis
Public Health Indicator
Coliforms and E. coli are the standard indicators of fecal contamination in potable and recreational water systems.
Regulatory Reporting
Defensible data for EPA Safe Drinking Water Act, state primacy, and facility compliance programs.
Source Water Validation
Confirm well, cistern, and source-water integrity after repairs, flooding events, or construction work.
Outbreak Investigation
Pinpoint the contamination source when illness clusters or detection events surface in the distribution system.
Sample Coverage
From Building Taps to Industrial Process Water
- Building taps, fountains, ice makers, and filtered points-of-use
- Private wells, cisterns, and source intakes
- Pools, splash pads, lakes, and beach-front samples
- Food and beverage process water and industrial wash systems
Sample Types We Process
Potable Distribution
Building taps, fountains, ice makers, and filtered points-of-use across municipal and well-fed systems.
Source & Well Water
Private wells, cisterns, and source intakes serving residential, agricultural, and commercial sites.
Recreational Water
Pools, splash pads, lakes, and beach-front sampling for facility and public-health programs.
Process & Industrial Water
Food and beverage process water, agricultural irrigation, and industrial wash systems.
Methods
Methods Aligned to Regulatory Expectations
Sample handling is documented at intake, the analytical workflow follows EPA and Standard Methods, and every result is reviewed against the limits that your program reports against.
When a result is positive, we move fast. When it is negative, the record stands on its own for audit, inspection, or distribution record-keeping.
- Methods aligned with EPA, Standard Methods, and state primacy expectations
- Documented chain of custody from intake to report
- Rapid response on positive results
- Plain-language reports with limit comparisons your team can act on
