in my job we do water quality testing on well water and swimming pools for public health purposes. first, you want to know if coliforms are present, as these are indicative of the presence of gram negative bacteria that are found in the colon. the presence of E. coli, specifically, is indicative of fecal contamination by a mammalian source (i.e. human). i hope this points you in the right direction.
