SYNOPSIS A S trict application of recommendations contained in Report 71 1 generates the need for the examination of large numbers of samples with daily analysis being required at certain treatment works. Manpower resources were not available to achieve this, and an alternative procedure for bacteriological monitoring was necessary. The paper describes a technique for ‘on‐site’ monitoring of the bacteriological quality of a water supply on a daily basis. Based on the multiple tube method, the test provides a qualitative yedno indication of the quality of the water being produced. Experiences in the use of this technique are outlined.
