Actually, I have a better idea. I think I'll go get some pool test strips. If I have chlorine coming out of my faucets, then I have no bacteria in my system. If I find zero residual chlorine then I will run the faucets, bringing plenty of new chorine into the house, until I see some residual CL. Seems like that should do it.

For my neighbors that have a second bathroom that seldom gets used, it is a good idea to flush the toilet and run the faucets in the bath and sink once a week or so. That will help keep the lines clear.
