While not a direct measure of pathogens, elevated HPC counts (above 500 CFU\/ml) indicate that disinfectant residual has been consumed, biofilm is established, or stagnation is occurring — all conditions that increase Legionella and Pseudomonas risk.

Water used for cleaning food contact surfaces, in product formulation, or for ice production must meet potable water standards.
