Borehole water (private drinking water water supply) is tested for the presence of common chemical and microbial contaminants found in a borehole supply. This includes a faecal contamination via a E.coli/Coliforms test, as this bacterial group commonly grow in the gut of animals and humans and their presence signifies water contamination. Drinking water is also tested for ‘Total Viable Count’ (TVC) which is used as general indicator of water hygiene.
