Coliform Testing:

The media will turn blue-green if coliform bacteria is present, or will remain yellow if coliform bacteria is absent.

No special incubation equipment required. Place warming pad with sample in box and wait 24 to 48 hours.  Sample will turn green if coliforms are present.

If kept at 74F to 78 degrees F, the test will take 48 hours. Warming the sample is not required and does not affect the accuracy of the test, only the timing. If coliform bacteria is detected, the water should be disinfected (or not consumed at all) regardless of whether E. coli is specifically present.
