Cost-effective testing methods for testing the safety of water for drinking

We are considering introducing the use of sand filters into our water harvesting projects in Rajasthan. Whilst we know these filters work in controlled conditions with trained users, we want to assess their effectiveness when used in rural communities in remote areas in Rajasthan. We are looking for a cost-effective and simple method of assessing water quality which can be used by trained villagers in these remote villages. All of the systems that we have found so far are expensive, bearing in mind that the villages which we support are very poor, and require careful application to be effective.
