When Dr. Henry Pope built a
new house east of College Station
more than a year ago, he joined
the Wixon Water Supply Corp.
and was spared the expense and
responsibility of drilling and main
taining a private, domestic well.
Can the Texas A&M University
liberal arts project director and his
family expect city-like quality to
accompany the convenience of
their rural water sysl#ih?
Len Klandrud, Texas Depart
ment of Health regional sanita
rian, said the state’s quality stan
dards for drinking water are the
same for all public supply systems,
whether serving 300 rural resi
dents, 100,000 urban dwellers or
25 customers in a country re
staurant. The requirements in
clude bacteriological and chemical
analyses as well as chlorination.
The number of samples re
quired, however, is related to the
number of people the system
serves, Klandrud said.
For instance, Wixon and Well
born water supply corporations,
each serving an estimated 3,000
persons in rural Brazos County,
are required to send a minimum of
three monthly water samples to
the county health laboratory for
bacteriological analysis. On the
other hand, Bryan, population
37,714, draws a minimum of 55
samples per month.
A public water system is de
fined by the state Health Depart
ment as one that pipes water for
human consumption to at least 15
service connections, or regularly
serves an average of at least 25
individuals daily for 60 or more
days a year.
Jillaine Stiller, microbiologist
with the Brazos County Health
Unit, tests the water for coliform
bacteria which may indicate con
tamination from human wastes.
“Coliform bacteria themselves
are not a cause for alarm,” Stiller
said. “But because they are nor
mally found in the intestinal tracts
of warm-blooded animals, they
are an indicator of fecal material in
the water.”
Water contaminated by fecal
wastes might contain aisease-
causing pathogens, such as sal
monella, Stiller said.
Analysis of the water samples
will yield one of three reports:
-— no coliform s;
— x number of coliforms per
100 milliliters of water;
— confluent growth, or the pre
sence of so much bacteria that it is
impossible to determine if it is col
iform.
“Water of satisfactory condition
is free from coliform organisms,”
the microbiologist said from her
office in Bryan. “If coliform are not
present, it usually means
pathogens won’t be either, be
cause coliform bacteria are more
hardy than pathogens.”
State health department guide
lines for drinking water set a
imum contamination level of
coliforms in a single sam
When this level is exceeded,
check samples must be colledi
from the test point until two mi
secutive samples show less lli
one coliform bacterium per 1||
milliliters.
If confluent growth is ■
the water is chlorinated
sampled until a satisfactory rep«|
is obtained, Stiller said
Stiller analyzes between I
and 500 samples of water
month. More than 100 sai
come from Bryan, College Statin
and Texas A&M University mtn
systems. Another 200 samplesu
drawn from small public system
such as a country restaurantorse
vice station with its own vs
