The TC numbers indicate the most probable number of colony forming units of coliforms per 100 ml sample.

Coliform bacteria are introduced for the most part by warm blooded mammals. A moderate amount of total coliforms is considered a normal background level.

The EC numbers indicate the most probable number of colony forming units of E. Coli per 100 ml sample.

In this area E. coli is introduced almost entirely by human activity. Its presence usually indicates the presence of other serious pathogens.
