About this Video:
Join Johnny, a water quality engineer with Tap Score, as he delves into the topic of coliform bacteria in well water. In this video, Johnny explains why coliform bacteria are commonly found in well water and what their presence means for your water safety. He highlights that while coliform bacteria themselves are not necessarily harmful, they can indicate potential pathways for other more dangerous microorganisms to enter your water supply.

Johnny discusses how coliform bacteria can serve as indicators of possible contamination issues, such as a compromised well casing. A damaged casing can allow surface water, carrying bacteria, pesticides, nitrates, and other microbes, to seep into your well, posing a serious risk to your drinking water.

To ensure your water remains safe, Johnny emphasizes the importance of regular testing for both coliform bacteria and nitrates as part of your annual well water testing regimen. By identifying and addressing potential issues early, you can prevent serious health hazards and keep your drinking water clean and safe.
