I have just found out there’s ecoli in my well water at the place we just moved to and am hearing I need 165 to kill ecoli but my dishwasher says it only heats to 155 but claims this meets the standard for safe drinking water.
Confused about whether or not it’s safe to use the dishes coming out of my dishwasher till the well manager can come up with a method to treat the water or something.
I can’t even imagine how I would boil the water I use to run through the dishwasher or clean my dishes with boiling water by hand sounds super fun.
Is it safe to use the dishwasher?

It doesn’t help for plastics and stuff like that, but you can always sterilise glass ware and ceramics by putting in the oven. Doesn’t have to be full temperature, I would go for an oven temp of 100c (or 212f) ie water boiling temperature. For everything else that can’t with stand that you can always boil water and use that wash dishes (can let it cool after boiling).
I assume you are also boiling all the water that you drink also?
