What is Bacteria?
Bacteria are microscopic, one-celled organisms usually classified as plants (in a division called fungi). Bacteria typically originates in human and animal wastes and can enter a water supply from septic tank drainage, sewage, feedlot manure or direct drainage of surface runoff into wells. Bacterial contamination remains the most common water quality problem for individual (private wells) and small community public systems (under 1,000 service connections).
