Reply to comment by moxonrox in Well came back positive for coliform and landlord hasn’t shocked it. Advice? by moxonrox

You should not test for the general "coliform" - you know that is positive. You should test for fecal coliform and e. coli. Maine Environmental Laboratory has a good description of what each of the tests mean. If you're within reasonable driving distance of Yarmouth, they also do the analyses and their price is reasonable.

I found a company that will do a follow up test to identify the type of coliform for $50, so we will see what that turns up in about a week or so!
