Guidance on the use of Enterococci as an indicator in Canadian drinking water supplies.: H144-68/2020E-PDF
"Enterococci are a bacteriological indicator of fecal contamination. Their presence in drinking water indicates that fecal pathogens may be present which can pose a health risk to consumers. They can be included in a drinking water monitoring program to provide information on the quality of the source water, the adequacy of treatment and the delivery of safe drinking water to the consumer. Health Canada completed its review of enterococci in drinking water. This guidance document was prepared in collaboration with the Federal-Provincial-Territorial Committee on Drinking Water. It describes the significance, sampling and treatment considerations for the use of enterococci as a bacteriological indicator in the context of drinking water quality and safety"--Executive Summary.
