1.Chemical analysis
-This is a routine chemical analysis tests for the most common chemical parameters found in water, such as iron, sodium, sulfates, nitrates and nitrites.
-A routine chemical analysis should be done every two to five years.
2.Bacteriological analysis.
-Bacteriological analysis determines the total coliform and faecal coliform bacteria in the water.
-Coliform bacteria are usually present in soil and surface water.
-Faecal coliform are present in animal and human waste.
-Both are indicator organisms for the potential presence of pathogenic (disease causing) bacteria.
-A bacteriological analysis does not test for iron bacteria or sulphate-reducing bacteria which are commonly found in well water. A bacteriological analysis should be done annually.
-A bacteriological analysis can be done for minimal cost through your local health unit.
-This should be done annually.
