If the paperwork the grower gets reports the results in terms of total coliforms but not generic e. coli, can a grower submit for reimbursement?
Yes, when submitting your documentation to show proof of purchase for generic E. coli water testing we will be looking for the documentation to either indicate that the testing was either for generic E. coli, or if the results are reported as total coliforms, we'll be evaluating the method listed on the documentation to verify that it matches the list of the FDA accepted methods for water testing for generic E. coli. If the method matches, the grower can submit for reimbursement.
