Not withstanding what you do see - it's what you don't.

Of course bacteria levels are checked! What would be the sense of testing the water without testing for bacteria levels?
I do have a full filtration system which includes UV sterilization. When I have water checked however, it is done before any filtering or UV sterilizing, basically straight from the lake. I also test it right from the faucet after sterilizing. It has always tested good and drinkable with a perfect PH. Unlike many, I don’t draw my water on the edge of my breakwater rocks where algae and bacteria tend to grow. I am in approximately 10’ of undisturbed water.
Ellacoya is 1 1/2 miles away and with 200’ of water Depth between. The prevailing NW winds also Probably blow whatever disgusting things humans place in the water over there...
