“…It is also difficult to demonstrate an association between the type of drinking water an illness. For example: a case-control study of rural (PWS) families in Oxfordshire matched with families served by a public supply found no consistent differences in the health status of the two groups [43] ; and another study examined the cases of campylobacter infection and cryptosporidiosis in ten local authorities but found no difference in disease rates for these pathogens per head of population served by PWS, compared with the general population and therefore concluded that the disease burden due to PWS is small [40]. In contrast a survey of local authorities in the UK found that one third of waterborne infection could be attributed to consumption from PWS.…”

“…[8-10] This lack of association may be related to the specific indicator bacteria used to quantify risk, as well as, the presence of relatively low levels of these indicator bacteria. [8,11] Total coliform is a non-specific indicator of fecal contamination and can originate from a number of different plant and soil sources.…”
