The membrane filter technique (MFT) has been used to enumerate bacterial density such as the total or fecal coliform bacteria in raw and finished water. It also provides a capability to monitor the disinfection efficiency in the plant. The Water Utilities Laboratory of the city of Corpus Christi, Texas, has been employing a space‐saving MFT for several years. This article discusses the aspirator system, along with its usage of MFT technology.
