B. One of your fellow classmates got sick after drinking coca cola (with ice) from a soda fountain at a local fast food restaurant. He claims that toilet water is cleaner than the ice cubes that are dispensed from the machine at the restaurant.

1.What organisms do you think causes contamination of ice dispensers? ...toilet water?

2. How could you test the water and conclude with water is “cleaner”? Show your work by creating an appropriate dilution schemes. So one scheme for the ice water and one scheme for the toilet water.
