I think the source of the problem with this question is, what is fecal coliform? Do you know what feces are? Fecal matter is poop. What is coliform? Bacteria that live in poop.

So basically poop bacteria in water. How could someone get ill from this? I hope you don't consider the last answer, unless you're hardcore like that.
