*TVC/Aerobic Colony Count is a basic measure of bacterial activity in a water sample. No limits are set for this in the UK but it is possible to interpret the result to indicate potential poor water hygiene issues.
The Water Supply Regulations 2010 lay out the parameters required for water standards in the UK, the Drinking Water Inspectorate regulates this in England, you can find information on this on the DWI site here (p94).
What systems should be sampled for E. Coli?
- Care homes (Every six months)
- Healthcare premises (Every six months)
- Larger buildings operating to BS8558 (Every six months)
- Bore holes / Wells / Private Springs (Every six months)
- Poultry / Broiler Farm Drinking Lines

E. Coli water testing is done to analyse water for faecal contamination whether animal or other sewage contamination, E. Coli (Escherichia coli) is often not dangerous but is used as an indicator that the water is contaminated with other dangerous bacteria. Along with Coliform and TVC/Aerobic Colony Count, this microbial potability (drinking) water analysis can be used to give a good indication of the quality of the water and whether disinfection or other control measures need to be taken.
