They live primarily in stagnant fresh water. They can enter the water supply via reservoirs, wells, streams, rivers or lakes. Some can be up to 1 inch long and others are microscopic. Nematodes in fresh water and in the soil are microscopic. Nematodes have long, cylindrical bodies which have no internal segments.
The typical size of parasitic worms or helmiths, such as flukes, tapeworms, hookworms, ascris, pinworms, trichina worms, and filaria worms is 30-50 microns in diameter.
The worms that have been reported to have been found in tap water are midge larvae, flatworms, roundworms (otherwise known as nematodes), and rotifers. If you have discovered small worms in your tap water, you may be seeking advice on how to deal with the problem.
