Here’s where the story gets juicy. A coliform-positive result doesn’t mean you drank a villain’s brew. Many people drink water with low levels and feel totally fine. The real concern is that coliforms are gatekeepers—they warn you that other troublemakers, like E. coli O157 or giardia, could be crashing the party.
