OpenStudy (mrnood):

do you know what fecal coliform is - and what is its source? If you do - and your local lake had high levels - what would you do?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

that means it has organic material

OpenStudy (mrnood):

No - it is worse than that - look it up.

OpenStudy (mrnood):

I'd stick with B (unless my drinking water was directly from the lake)

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

we drink lake water ?

OpenStudy (mrnood):

All fresh water comes from rivers or lakes - or underground aquifers. Some lakes are artificial 'reservoirs and dams' but it's still all flowed off the land. Your water supply company filters and cleans it - but yup - fish and ducks have done all sorts in your tap water.
