Fecal coliform bacteria are naturally occurring microorganisms that live in the intestines of warm-blooded animals, including humans. The presence of fecal coliform bacteria in Kitsap County’s creeks and shorelines indicates the water is contaminated with fecal waste from sources such as failing septic systems, leaking sewer infrastructure, household pets, livestock, and/or wildlife.
