In rural area in Westbank, there is roof tank to support water networks, During Field study to examine water quality of two villages some of tanks where contaminted with Pseudomonas aeruginosa, So the question is how much this kind of contamination would be health threating, and How much this Bactria Exists in water networks in other countries.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a bacterium that is naturally found in many types of drinking water. For example, it is a violation of European regulations to have Pseudomonas aeruginosa present in a 250 ml sample of bottled water. However, no such regulation exists in the United States. Apparently, the Pseudomonas aeruginosa regulation in Europe originated as a quality control issue and not as a health effects issue. During the last decade, a number of papers have appeared that have indicated that Pseudomonas aeruginosa from drinking water is a health threat. However, it is not considered a health threat by those in the clinical microbiology or infectious diseases communities.
Therefore, an assessment of health risk to humans from Pseudomonas aeruginosa from drinking water was conducted.

Pseudomonas aeruginosahas not been shown to cause any health effects following ingestion. It is more likely to cause problems with the taste and odour of drinking water.However the biofilms that Pseudomonas aeruginosa form could harbour more dangerous bacteria such as Coliform organisms and E.coli.
