Coliform Bacteria - MN Dept. of Health

MDH monitors drinking water for public water supplies (PWSs) on a routine basis. If *E. coli* is detected in the distribution system of a PWS, the system must be disinfected. In most cases this includes emergency chlorination, which can last for two to five days. At the same time a system is being disinfected, customers of the PWS are ordered to vigorously boil their drinking and cooking water (Boil Water Advisory) for one minute before using it.
