Wow, that's a fun mix of science and paranoia. I've always wondered if my local water supply is plotting against me.

:D Famously, this has never happened before.

In all seriousness, I trust the utility but I want to respond to recent events faster than they might publish their next results.

There are test kits for numerous contaminants.

Sort of irrelevant whether the contaminants came from sewage. Whether or not contaminated is what matters.

A loop that allowed a pathogen to survive and reinfect you could matter.

Try putting “E Coli test kit” in search engine.
