Sewage bacteria testing is important because it helps identify and monitor levels of contamination from various sources, such as wastewater treatment plants, industrial sites, agricultural runoff, and residential sewage systems. Sewage bacteria testing can detect the presence of disease-causing organisms in water which once ingested can cause serious illnesses in humans and animals. Testing for sewage bacteria also allows for proactive management strategies to be put in place to reduce the risk of contamination and help protect public health.
