" Conform bacteria standards are based on the presence or absence of col forms In a sample. The number of samples collected by a public
water system is determined by the size of the population served. A system collecting at least 40 somplealmonth can have co/Norm In no more
than 5% of the samples. A system collecting fewer than 40 somploolmonth can have no more than one colHonn posit". Any number
exceeding these amounts triggers an MCL exceedence
