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?

You don’t need boiling water to kill E.Coli 70 C will do it, in addition the detergent will also kill bacteria. E. Coli or Escherichia Coli is a bacteria present in the intestines of warm blooded animals and normally represents no threat to humans. However some strains of E. Coli may produce Shiga toxins which can be a threat, good hygiene standards however can normally minimise the chances of contamination with E. Coli. https://youtu.be/jv_xh0GQs9E
