[FONT=&quot]We have received a CON29DW Drainage and Water search for a property we are trying to purchase. The report states:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“ The analysis confirmed that tests failed to meet the standards of the 2000 Regulations of the 2001 Regulations in relation to another substance or substances and these are: 2 out of 192 tests failed to meet the standard for Coliform bacteria”.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Given that we are quite far down the line with purchasing this property, I have a few queries:[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]

Is[FONT=&quot] this something we should be concerned about or a standard issue?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Are there any health related issues associated with this?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]What corrective measures should we request?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Is this an issue that should prevent us exchanging and completing?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Is it thames water's issue or the vendors?[/FONT]

We had the exact same thing when we had our water searches done for where we recently bought. We didnt have a problem with it as our solictor said that its only a sample and a small one at that thats come back with a negative that it shouldnt be anything to worry about. He also said that those samples could have been taken quite a way away from the house / street we were searching on. I haventy keeled over yet and we have been living there over two months and drink water from the tap regularly.
