Ecoil in drinking water

Yes, boiling water for half an hour and cooling it, thereafter filtering it with thin clean cotton cloth makes it safe for drinking. However, add chlorine tablet 0.2gm/litre for making it sure safe because, in case cloth is containing any germs it will be carried to filtered water which will be disinfected by chlorine. Nevertheless, the presence of ecoli in water indicates ingress of polluted water/sewage water/drain water/ dirty water/ night soil -- contamination from latrine -- is taking place somewhere in the distribution for which the Municipal Authority needs to adequately chlorinate the distribution system before releasing water for public consumption. Further, household level hygiene is also to be maintained while handling such treated/purified/disinfected water before drinking. Take utmost care.
