Teen: Toilet Water Cleaner Than Fountain

Middle School student Kyleray Katherman had a hunch something was amiss with the school's drinking fountain water. And right he was.

For an English assignment, he tested the bacteria content at four water fountains and one toilet to challenge a ban on students from bringing bottled water to class. It seems some were using it to sneak in alcohol.

Guess which was cleaner? It wasn't the water fountains.

Quote
Katherman, 13, used Q-tips and petri dishes, swabbing the spigots of four fountains and sampling one toilet, dunking the cotton in the bowl's center and then dragging it around the rim for a complete sample.

He took the results to the school lab put them under a light to speed up the bacteria's growth.

The petri dishes with fountain water were swarming with bacteria. The sample from the toilet was clean, probably because the toilets are doused with cleansing chemicals daily.

And that was her mistake.  If the toilet had chemicals residing in it continuously (not atypical), then she dosed the swab with antibacterials as she collected her sample.  Better technique: just swab around the rim, or perhaps just the flush lever or front of the lid.

Not that I'm a germophobe or anything, but the vilest contact point in a public restroom is usually (a) the handle/push-plate on the inside face of the door or (b) the faucet handles.

A self admitted germophobe, I'm the freak you see in the bathroom who cranks down the paper towel lever before washing his hands, leaves the water running while drying hands, and then uses a paper towel to turn off the water and then to open the door.
