Ecoli- How does it affect my herps?

I have found out this afternoon that there is a water quality issue in my town, apparently there is an excessive amount of ecoli in the water. Anyone know how this will affect reptiles (or fuzzy animals like cats and fish)? I plan to treat my water before giving it to the reptiles with an iodide based water purification product, is this safe? Please let me know asap as I need to give water to the animals tonight. Also, will boiling get rid of ecoli? I would rather use the bottled treatment if possible. Boiling will be hard to work with as I have to heat the water up to 212* then let it sit for a long time to cool back down to room temp. I'll need a lot of water to do my usual maintanence tasks today so I really don't have the time to sit and wait 2 hours everytime I need more water......especially when I start cleaning after I get out of work at 1130pm and have to be up at 7 am. Not much time to get it all done as is, this just make it worse.
