Actually I think I read the margin of error of the methods used to analyze the samples. Now that I read the statement again this morning , the sentence on the sheet makes perfect sense. However, given the provided above margins of error, how definitive are the readings bellow? The actual...

Finally got a full water test done by a Lab. These are the margins of error (for the test) , The actual results are posted later in this thread. Coliform: 1 cfu /100 ml Nitrate /N: 2.25 mg/l Arsenic: 2.0 micrograms/l Lead: L 2.0 micrograms/l
