Water supplied to 15 housing societies around D’Monte Park in Bandra West has been found to contain coliform bacteria—typically found in faecal matter. The number is expected to increase as other societies await lab test results. Alarmed by the impurities and red worms observed in tap water for the past 10 days, locals recently took matters into their own hands, sending multiple water samples for testing.
