Ns = Nonsignifican at P > 0.05, * = P < 0.05, cfu = colony forming unit, log₁₀ = to common logarithm, APC = Aerobic plate count, TCC = Total coliform count, FCC = Fecal coliform count, ECC = Escherchia coli count, StC = Staphylococci counts. Means with the same letter in the same column are not significantly different at P > 0.05.
