- 30-day average (each month) | |
- Standard deviation | |
- Maximum | |
- Interquartile range. | |
For bacteriological reduction performance, report fecal coliform test results of influent and effluent sampling by geometric mean from samples drawn within 30-day or monthly calendar periods, obtained from a minimum of three samples per week throughout the testing period.
