The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a maximum contaminant level goal (MCLG) of zero for total coliforms in drinking water. Regular testing and monitoring are essential to ensure water safety and public health. If coliforms are detected, further testing is required to identify the source and determine the appropriate response.
