RESUMEN
The present communication deals with the bacteriological examination of a pond water, which is being used as one of the sources of drinking water, by multiple tube fermentation test to detect the coliform bacteria. The test was performed sequentially in three stages: presumptive, confirmed and completed coliform test. The results show that as the most probable number (MPN) index per 100 ml is 23, that pond water should be treated as nonpotable.
