There was no no e-coli (Escherichia Coli) in the water samples tested so that rules out septic or other fecal born bacteria be it from humans or animals.

All lake and pond water has bacteria...the healthiest of lakes have bacteria in them. The question is, is it good or bad...since there is no feasible way to test for every form of bacteria, the idea is to kill it all or at least as much as possible.

E-Coli is the one you really need to look out for and ensure it is not entering your water system...
