By contrast, boil water advisories issued due to the detection of Escherichia coli (E. coli) in drinking water samples accounted for 5%. Boil water advisories related to other microbiological water quality parameters, such as the detection of total coliform bacteria or unacceptable turbidity levels, accounted for 17% of total boil water advisories"--p. 5.
