We live well off the beaten track and as such are not on mains water. All the estate's water comes from two bore holes. This then gets tested, how often I'm not sure, by the relevant authority for coliforms and e.coli. The water has failed the most recent test and now we have to boil all water for consumption and even for cleaning teeth.
I wonder how long it's been going on for and what are the health risks?

The wife has had upset stomach a few times over the last few weeks and am wondering if the water was the major contributing factor.

More than anything its a royal pain in the ass. Anyone else have any experience with this
