EPA 200.8 Bacterial Contamination in Groundwater Systems Laboratory Testing Service

Eurolabs Expertise and Capabilities

Standard-Related Information

The testing of bacterial contamination in groundwater systems is governed by various international and national standards, including:

  • ISO 9303:1990: Water quality Determination of the number of bacteria (total count) Colony-counting technique

  • ASTM D4845-10: Standard Test Method for Nitrate and Nitrite in Water

  • EN ISO 9303:2007: Water quality Determination of the number of bacteria (total count) Colony-counting technique

  • TSE EN ISO 9303: Turkish Standard for Water Quality - Determination of the Number of Bacteria (Total Count)

    • These standards provide a framework for ensuring that laboratory testing is conducted in accordance with international best practices and regulations. The development, maintenance, and revision of these standards are overseen by organizations such as the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM), and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE).

    Standard Requirements and Needs

    The testing of bacterial contamination in groundwater systems is essential to ensure public health and safety. Groundwater is a critical source of drinking water, and contamination with bacteria can lead to serious health issues. The EPA 200.8 standard requires laboratories to conduct regular testing for bacterial contamination in groundwater systems.

    Businesses and industries that require this testing include:

  • Water treatment plants

  • Municipalities

  • Private well owners

  • Industrial facilities

    • The consequences of not performing this test are severe, including:

  • Health risks to humans and animals

  • Environmental damage

  • Economic losses due to contamination-related expenses

    • Test Conditions and Methodology

    The testing process involves the following steps:

    1. Sample Collection: Groundwater samples are collected from the well or treatment plant.

    2. Sample Preparation: The samples are prepared for analysis by adjusting the pH, if necessary.

    3. Testing Equipment: The testing is conducted using specialized equipment, including:

    Membrane filtration units

    Incubators

    Colony-counting software

    4. Measurement and Analysis Methods: The bacterial contamination levels are measured using standard methods, such as the colony-counting technique.

    5. Quality Control Measures: Regular quality control measures are implemented to ensure accurate results.

    Test Reporting and Documentation

    The test results are documented in a comprehensive report that includes:

  • Sample identification

  • Testing parameters

  • Results summary

  • Conclusion

    • The report is structured according to international reporting standards, including the ISO 17025:2005 standard. The results are validated and verified through quality control measures.
