| Abstract: | Total coliforms, faecal coliforms and coliphages in the raw sewage were detected in high numbers during the months averaging a maximum temperature of 20°C. The secondary and tertiary effluents show a 99–100% removal of the three indicators of faecal pollution. A direct correlation between the faecal coliforms and coliphages suggests that coliphages alone may be used as an indicator for the presence of pathogenic bacteria in contaminated waters. |
