Bacteria From Your Tap? Water Purity Test Kits For Your Family's Health & Safety

Water purity tests should be done by every household

Bacteria is a major cause for concern in many households. It shows up everywhere. It is on the food we eat and in what comes from our tap. We are exposed to it everyday when out in public. Coughs and sneezes carry it. It can even be found on hard surfaces.  Everyone should think about a water purity test kit for their home. No matter where you live. Because you never know until you do, what is actually coming from your tap. Let's take a look at what can be in what you and your family drink.

• The health problems associated with waterborne Cryptosporidium and Giardia lamblia are well known. Up to 400,000 people were affected in the largest recorded outbreak of Cryptosporidium, in Milwaukee in the USA. As well as being a major dilemma for utility companies, these protozoan parasites are also a problem for environmental health officers. 

• There are risks of Cryptosporidium associated with private source supplies that do not apply to municipal sources. These are: the immediate proximity of young farm animals to many supplies; 

• the inadequate protection of many sources leading to rain washing fecal material into the collection point; and 

• the absence of treatment to many supplies and the inadequacy of the treatment systems that are installed. 

• Regulations (HMSO, 1991) do not require private sources such as wells to be monitored for Cryptosporidium or Giardia lamblia. They rely on the presence of a single fecal indicator organism (fecal coliforms) to alert local authorities to the possible contamination by pathogens. Because of its longevity Cryptosporidium may be isolated in sources where the coliform population has become inactive. 

Because of these theoretical risk factors, Bradford and District Metropolitan Council successfully applied to the Department of the Environment for research funding to investigate the problem. During the winter period of 1996/7 with Craven District Council we regularly tested 15 high-risk supplies to find out the extent of the problem. We selected as wide a variety of supplies as possible within that risk category. All the sites were spring and surface sources rather than boreholes. They included commercial and domestic supplies and the population using the water ranged from one house to a whole village. 

Rainfall Effects 
Previous studies of environmental samples have often indicated an association between rainfall and Cryptosporidium. There has been found to be an increase of cases in the early spring with a second lesser peak in the mid autumn period. It has been proposed that these peaks coincide with high rainfall. This is also the time of farming events such as slurry and muck spreading, lambing and calving. There appears to be a corresponding association with general contamination of private well supplies at these times.  

The connection between rainfall and contamination is relevant because monitoring should take place at the time when conditions are most likely to produce the poorest results. We therefore sampled just after significant precipitation events when, should contamination occur, we would have a reasonable chance of finding it. Sampling therefore normally followed times of rain. The only samples that were not taken within two days of rain were those following periods of snow. The sampling then took place the day after a thaw.
