Thousands of residents are being asked to boil their water for a second night after coliform bacteria was detected in two samples in Imperial Beach and a third test came back E. Coli positive.
California’s water board regulator told 10News investigative reporter Austin Grabish on Friday that it became aware of two coliform positive test results on Monday before a follow up sample taken Wednesday came back E. coli positive.
UC San Francisco infectious diseases expert Dr. Peter Chin-Hong said coliform organisms are not necessarily harmful on their own but said they often can serve as a proxy for other dangerous bugs like E. Coli, which is concerning. California American Water said Friday evening it was waiting for further testing to come in so it could lift the boil water advisory that it said is impacting 17,000 residences and businesses in areas of Coronado, Imperial Beach, San Diego and Chula Vista.
