Clear yellow indicates negative for fecal Coliform   Nice blue/green color indicates positive for fecal Coliform.  Fecal Coliform bacteria are a kind of Coliform associated with human or animal waste.  Escherichia Coliform, better known as E.

Back on Viti Levu at the entrance to Votualevu School.

Kids love to have their photo taken.

More students.

This school had almost 1000 kids and their govt water is bad.

A lot of these kids look Hindu.

Cool uniforms.

Colsons and E Howard in Headmaster's office.  Notice the clear plastic bottle w/o any decals on his desk.  He was aware of but did not know the proper procedure for solar purification of water.  He thought you could just put it in reflected sunlight.  If you fill a clear plastic bottle with contaminated water and set it in direct sunlight for 6-8 hours on a cloudless day, the UV rays from the sun kill all bacteria and viruses.

Last stop at Yako village.

Kids with their dad in village.

The woman to E Howard's left is the daughter of the spokesman.

I think this boy is her son.

Men in village resting. 

This little girl is suspicious of me.

Testing the well water. This village had the worst water Colsons have ever seen!

All finished taking pictures and water samples at the village well and, oops, what's that over there?

The village toilet!  Less than 4 meters from the well!  Now you know why the water is so contaminated.  The water in the well appeared to be about 1.5 - 2 meters below the surface, which is about the same depth as the toilet holes!  Hygiene lessons anyone? 

Must be lunchtime.

A friend on the bus ride back to Suva.
