The presence of E. coli in water is a strong indication of recent sewage or animal waste contamination. Sewage may contain many types of disease-causing organisms.
E. coli O157:H7 is one of hundreds of strains of the bacterium E. coli, this strain produces a powerful toxin and can cause severe illness. Infection often causes severe bloody diarrhea and abdominal cramps; sometimes the infection causes non-bloody diarrhea.
Symptoms usually appear within 2 to 4 days, but can take up to 8 days.

Contaminated water is a major cause of sickness. E coli is one thing you can get but there are many others. Cholera is spread by contaminated water as is Hepatitis, Typhoid and just general stomach upsets.

Fecal contaminated water has e coli in it. It can make you very sick. Stay away from it.
