You're right that E. Coli per se is not necessarily harmful, but it is an indicator of fecal contamination. If a septic tank is too close to a shallow bored well, and the water table rises a hydrologic connection can be made, i.e., potential human pathogens can end up in the well. I helped a guy out that had this situation a few years ago. And, you're right that checking for chemical impurities is a good idea.
